Take a loan!

Live in debt forever!

Glice 06.02.2009 02:20 PM

I'm currently in a similar predicament. Luckily, I reckon I could make quite a bit of money on ebay with records that I've not listened to for yonks and no longer like/ want. That should take me up to about £3.40...

I intend to move to a third world country and take on a salary between $400-1200 (3000-9000 birr) US a month, and nearly all of that will be needed to cover my own expenses, so I believe paying back tens of thousands of dollars of debt will be fucking impossible.. no loans, they limit i-man ability to be travel ready, and in Rastafari travel-ready is an absolute must.

Why do you want to go to Grad School?
To impress people, to make money (later), or for another reason?

No, to do the important works. My little bachelor's degree doesn't add up to much any more, many Ethiopians have a few of them, and even if I don't make it that far, I need the MA even MORE here in Los Angeles then in Ethio..

Its all part of a vision. Emperor Haile Selassie was about big things.

gualbert 06.02.2009 02:38 PM

What works, may I ask?

demonrail666 06.02.2009 02:41 PM

see if you can get sponsorship from a local authority. they often have money put aside to help students.

I'm not sure what you mean by local authority, but I have been looking into local scholarships and grants, the state is too broke to give out the legendary CAL Grants anymore, but they used to practically pay the whole way like a free ride but way way way too many people get years worth of these grants but never finish the school, essentially wasting the investment with no return. Truthfully I don't want any of the shitstem's money anyways, which is why I payed for my BA on my own with out any govt loans/grants/funding.

EVOLghost 06.02.2009 02:58 PM

start robbing mo fugs.

nah, thats not my style, I'm more into illicit sales and the power of prayer, so I am waiting for the tie breaker between hard drug dealing and divine intervention..

how to pay for gradschool: DON'T.

get funding-- get a TA (not tits and ass), a GA, or a fellowship.

avoid loans unless you're going to yale law school-- the only one that guarantees you'll pay back (well, there are others).

otherwise man up and get a job.

Youth_Against_Facism 06.09.2009 02:05 AM

p) All of the above.

a friendly reminder from satan: don't forget to swallow!

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 06.09.2009 04:34 PM

I've always thought of Satan as a spitter, because Satan doesn't aim to please.

Or maybe Satan just swallows the cock whole after biting it off.

Satan 06.09.2009 04:44 PM

i never spit. never.

then again i enjoy sucking dick. so i guess it's your call.

static-harmony 06.09.2009 05:02 PM

Swallow but have gum.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous 06.09.2009 06:03 PM

while these recent suggestions might be good for some, these suggestions do not help me pay for grad school. besides, I'd much prefer robbing motherfuckerz or pimping out some other chick. after all, its much easier to get a chick to suck fools up or yourself up for you and for $$$, rather than to do it myself:

You could start a pyramid savings scheme, then do a runner with the proceeds.

Alternately, you could start a sponsorship programme, whereby you get a whole bunch of SYG boardies to send you $50 a time, which would be used to help pay your way. What would the boardies get in return for their subscription? Your eternal gratitude, and a CDR containing your thank you message, you singing some Ethiopian hymns, and perhaps a selection of tunes that you have recorded.
