Why does that statement sometimes get snickered at, by the guys on here?
My real question is, ladies, did you ever consider grants, loans, scholarships, etc?
Or is providing the way to go, since you won't have a huge school loan hanging over your head when you graduate?

prior to hand holding and intense cuddling so for me
to at times to be able to call them "Doctor" is imperative.  

and graduated with almost no student debt.  

There are indeed some gals that are seeking a grad degree...most aren't however.

Exactly. ( my son didn't pay a dime for his Masters )

The really smart ones who are working towards a graduate degree are not posting about it.

Idiot with college degrees.  No common sense or real understanding of the material. Just makes for idiots educated above their understanding.  An example, a well known politician who came up with a health care plan.  Part of the plan was to force employers to provide insurance for all employees working more than 25 hours.  How many people do you know now cut down to less than 25 hours?  Yes, created more jobs which people cannot support themselves on.  I thank my lucky stars I didn't need this help.

Unlike many, I can prove where, when, and my GPA....a few locals know full well of this fact, because my damn tutor was a hobbyist lol.  The issue is so many lame ass hooktards, who are full of shit. If you can't even write in complete sentences and don't know the difference between "your" and "you're," exactly what grad school let you in? It was all freaking writing, save a Managerial Accounting and Finance Class. Many providers/people in general do UOP and random online schools, and hey...whatever works. I am an advocate for anyone wanting to further their education in any way possible, but many are naive to think that degree is worth the paper it's written on

Before I started escorting I was working till the point where my grades dropped dramatically...to the point where I lost my entrance scholarship. (I'm talking 40-50 hour weeks on top of a fairly intensive physical sciences program...)  
       This line of income had allowed me to regain my grants and scholarships back and allowed me the time to gain the GPA I needed in order to be accepted into my grad program this fall.  In addition It allowed me time to participate in extracurriculars at school and overall have a pretty nerdy, but typical university existence.  
       In terms of accepting loans for the sole purpose of school?  I did consider that, however I saw the debt that my peers were facing and the stress of trying to 1)find a job after school 2)have a massive cloud of debt over their heads.  When I did accept the government loan, I used it buy a rental property near campus.  I have a couple years till I graduate and interest on the loans kicks in, however in the meanwhile, providing has given me financial piece of mind.  
      In addition.  . No money can replace the knowledge of operating a tiny business or learning how to invest with the help of my patrons.  I see no reason why the statement that "i'm in grad school" is snickered at.

I don't even know where you can get a postgraduate degree online. If it's from a reputable university, sign me up. Because I sure as hell wouldn't mind skipping the almost daily walk to campus.  

Don't know about anyone else, but for me and most any private school...there were NO GRANTS in Grad School. It was ALL loans and a scholarship from the University, which was only 2k. Big whoop. They probably felt sorry for me, as I was the dumbest student there bwahahaha.  

You get freaking checks in excess loan funds all through school (loans, not grants) so why anyone would fk that many guys to pay for college is beyond me. Sorry, but with how little I work as a hooker, I could not even have afforded undergrad, and quite frankly, at that young age no way I would have been able to fk half of you lol.  

There is an implicit judgment here that, instead of working their way through grad school as a provider they should have taken out a student loan.  Don't deny that's the impulse behind this post you pathetic Dungbeetle.  You are, not so secretly, judging them.  But you are also attracted to them.  Perhaps you should consider why you are so attracted by what you seem to consider "damaged goods."  And I am sure you'll deny it because you simply don't get what a mess you are.  But I'll bet everyone else does.
And let me be clear.  I don't consider providers to be damaged goods.  I respect their choice and find it hot as hell.  You go, girls!  If I could fuck my way to a PhD I would.
Give it a rest, dungy.  You are too transparent for words.

I haven't taken many  tests since I quit school in ninth grade .  
 The test  that stressed me out the most was the most important test of my life ,
   my drivers license test .

"not smart"??
"not true."

I think this mindset characterizes a lot of clients. Definitely characterized a lot of the guys I used to see, as agency girl and as a newbie independent....not so much now, thank goodness

if it's JUST a gambit, it's usually a pretty transparent one.  

Look, just because I keep going back for MOAR SKOOL doesn't mean I have a problem. I can stop any time I want. Any time.

one 2nd yr at BU

Photography this time.

London is brilliant. What I wouldn't give for half of her business savvy. She is an executive shark with a nice tan and killer heels.

I can tell you it's not easy getting scholarships, grants, and etc. when every other college student is doing the same thing.

How do you end a subject line with "Nuff said", then keep on talking? eom

Oftentimes grants, loans, scholarships do not cover the total cost of tuition, fees and living expenses. Grants are hard to come by, and for those that get into a program prestigious enough to provide them with an assistanship in teaching or research and a stipend, the sum of the stipend is usually very meager and certainly too meager for someone that wants to live like they are above poverty level for the two to six years it takes to finish grad school. Haven't ya'll heard of the "poor grad student" phrase? As far as loans, grad school loan interest is higher than undergrad loan interest (even government loans are like, at 8% or something), making it a less attractive option that it otherwise would be.

Re: How do you end a subject line with "Nuff said", then keep on talking? eom

Now, that was funny bwahahahaha!

LMAO...no, sarcasm and being facetious is a gift, not a learned trait bwahahhaaha.

Good for you Nicole.
Good Luck.

Amen again.

My student loans: tuition, rent, supplies, food.
Still paying it off...No incentive from the Fed to pay off larger chunks.
I can pay 2K a month & still get the new Corvette or I can pay 10K a month & have no vacations & drive a Fiat.
There's no tax benefit! System is fooked up.

This subject hits close to home for me…..  You see I’m a history professor at a large university.  Every day I see students who will be leaving the university with major debt, in some cases close to $100K.  Even with recent legislation concerning the Federal Financial Aid program the “system” is still messed up.  Current studies show that currently over 90% of all students in higher education are getting some form of aid, up drastically from just 20 years ago when I was in school. Employment statistics also show that fulltime employment by Americans ages 18-22 (traditional college age) is the highest it’s been in decades.

I will have to go back and look at my transcripts but from my recollection, I was only required to take 14 total courses for a freaking MBA, and I went to a private school. I was full time, the entire time, and never failed a single class...and, I am far from a damn genius. Even loans only allow you to waste so much time, before they cut you off. After 56k (can't recall the exact number as it varies per school) you HAD TO BE in Grad school, or your money was cut off. Then, you were allowed only so much for grad school, and that was it.

How many woman provide to get through grad school? Do they enjoy doing this? Do you enjoy seeing her?

About 2 years for a masters, and 4 to 7 for a PhD. (and even longer for some for medical degrees)

Maybe not for you...but for many many others there are.

We’re just using latex to upgrade to a sheepskin.

Right on!

Much of that depends upon what subject matter, and evn more so whether they are part time or full time.

 As I posted earlier...online classes from University of Phoenix doesn't qualify  LOL  
   
 Frankly I don't know too many people with Masters who paid a nickel to get their degrees.  But from your post that just went up by one    
   
 And if someone is looking at a PhD...I've yet to meet anyone who not only didn't pay tuition...but were indeed paid stipends to earn that degree.  
   
 Maybe you've been looking in all the wrong places?  
 

That's the entire misnomer on the Masters programs the hookers babble they are seeking.  Some are just going for the sake of going...with no plan whatsoever.

 I know a number of ladies who worked outside the field they were studying so they were hard pressed to get their employer or the school to pay the freight.  
   
 It came down to loans, a second job with lots of hours, or escorting as the second job allowing more time to study (and even sleep a little).

The Pell Grant was not offered for grad school when I attended, and I don't know anyone else who got one that is white. Even as a single mother who falls below the pay grade to qualify, I was still not able to get a Pell Grant. There might be "other" grants out there, but I did not bother spending countless hours in paper work or researching them. No one in my graduating class was able to get a grant for a private school. It is much like getting a cosmetic procedure and insurance not covering it...it is simply not necessary to go to a private school, which is how the state feels about it. If you want to go, YOU pay for it or you get loans and pay them back.

Every University has grants and scholarships available to those who "qualify" for them.  And especially for those students who are seeking advanced degrees.

I did not hear of a single person in my class being able to get a damn Pell Grant for grad school...not ONE. The University offered a "scholarship" not a damn grant. The Federal Government will not normally GIVE money to anyone choosing to attend a private school, but if you'd like to send me some links to these places, would be happy to check them out. The Pell Grant (and I can show you my damn loan record) was NOT available for anyone in Grad school where I attended, and it's rare anyone gets that.  

I'm not.
