You have a lot going for you, you've played sports, you have high grades, and you paid your own way thru school. I don't want to diminish your academic accomplishments, but an owner of a company looking at you would probably rank those in order of importance like this - 1)paid his way, 2)played sports, 3)high grades. I guess what I'm saying is don't put too much emphasis on the 4.0. The first time you get hired the difference between 3.0 and 4.0 will unlikely make much difference...it's sad but true. And after you get hired to your first job, no one ever cares what your grades were ever again as long as you live....all they care about is past job performance. That said, if you still want to play ball, college sports is great for relationships and finding a job when you're done. Employers love athletes b/c they understand competition, they understand teamwork and they are passionate about winning.

Debt is also not always a bad thing. It is a great motivator and it can pay great returns. If you have the drive to be successful, the 20K will be a month's pay in a few years...so don't sweat it. If you want to play college hoops and get your degree then by all means do both. Don't sacrifice something you love, you'll second guess yourself the rest of your life. But, if the 4.0 is more important then go for it.

Yeah I know grades dont mean anything, but I got my foot in the door in the biggest bank in Ohio, so the grade thing is just a goal for me really. Id like to graduate number one in my class or whatever that name is, I forget what it is.

At this point, Im just trying to get done with school. Im getting too old to worry about playing basketball. I only have two years of eligibility left so I wasnt trying to find my way onto another team and find my niche. I had fun while I played, and Im glad I went back and played, but Im not upset that I didnt go to another school to continue.

The important thing is to do your homework, so give INF a massage daily and you should be good.

(I expect rep, Glen. Thanks in advance.)

remember: it's not the grades you make, it's the hands you shake.

When I'm done with the course, I hope to work over the Cavs.

Your "school" doesn't happen to be located near W 25th and Lorain, near Lutheran hospital, does it? If you see Ming Wa, tell her I said "Hi".

Stories from "school" are great...I love a good happy ending.

 

[Nicky]

^ No Happy endings here. And it's not near W.25th. It's in Middleburg Hts.

And yes Cdt, massaging #90 is my dream :chuckles:.

I just found out some HORRIBLE facts about the school I was going to attend.
The major question that I forgot to ask, was about their passing percentage.
I talked to my best friend who knows someone who went to that school (Sanford Brown) and they told me don't go. They said it's horrible.

I'm thinking, maybe it's just them. I'm sure you can find something negative at any school... But then I go online and look at all the Massage Schools in Ohio.. Look at the percentage scores of the board certified test.
Sanford Brown - 12% passing... 12% <-- What the hell is 12%. 9-66 passed.

The other school I was thinking of attending - The Cleveland Institute of Medical Massage has 53% passing. So I did what any sane person would do. I immediately called Cleveland Institute, made an appointment for tomorrow afternoon, to take care of everything that has to be done to register and filling out Financial Aid.

I'm just thankful I got the info before I actually went ahead and started going there.

A 12% passing, I have no idea why they are still allowed to continue teaching that course.
