Howdy all,

Just found out there is a CSU grant fund for residents of California. My tuition for my M.S. degree was a little under 5k a semester. Already stupid low since it is a CSU and California keeps it's state tuition low. However, I found out that there is also a CSU grant fund that will cover 75% of my tuition because I am a California resident. Therefore, I now pay $800 dollars a semester for two years equaling my total tuition costs would be $3200. In addition, some heavily funded CSU's that do a lot of research will have Teaching Assistant positions where you have your own sections of 50 undergraduate students that you teach each week. This pays 15k a year for roughly 15-20 hrs/week. Thus, I will have positive 12k cash and an M.S. degree and essentially doubled or tripled(tripled only if I find a good job, which a few alumnis have) my pay from an undergraduate average pay in my field. Will be buying new tires for sure and front suspension is a maybe. Then the rest goes towards saving for a house somewhere. I guess California has some benefits, even though I can't get all the cool fancy new guns :crackup:

Thanks for reading,
Brandon

I see Oprah on stage saying, you get a free degree, you too! EVERYONE gets a free degree!
Hahaha. No idea how free degrees will work in the future. Had to work my ass off to get in this program.

Miss ya Rick!
