Is pursuing a higher education really that important?
Q. I only have one year to complete high school. I've been thinking not to go to college because I'm frustrated to go to school again. My grades were always mediocre, teachers have always gave me a hard time (even in elementary school), studying and doing homework was a total pain, I suck at math, I never took any honors or AP classes. The only things I've done were join clubs that help out people (Key Club, helping hands), one year in the literary magazine (but they didn't need me anymore for some odd reason) photography. I just feel it would be waste applying for colleges that would reject me anyways since I would get no teacher that would sign my recommendation sheet, my average GPA, and the courses I take. Would I be making a mistake to… [cont.]

A. If you don't like school, then you shouldn't go to college straight out of high school. Try working for a while. If you find that you are at a dead end career-wise, then you can go back to community college, and you'll be well-motivated to do well. If you ask any community college professor, they will tell you that the 30-year old students they have are much better students than the teenagers who are just going to college because they think that's what they're supposed to do. There are plenty of good careers for people who don't like school, if they're willing to work with their hands, for example. You might consider being an apprentice to a plumber or an electrician or a carpenter or a welder if you have more interest and talent in… [cont.]

A. Since you have a defaulted student loan, the law says that ANY refund will be taken and applied to what you owe. You DID spend it. Just not how you had planned to.

How old are students when they enter and finish higher education in Egypt?
Q. In America, students start at 18 and finish at 22 typically, but I heard that Egyptian students (like Zarqawi) can be in med school at 17, which would mean that higher education in Egypt is like secondary education in the free world. Is this true? In America, students start college (higher education) at 18 and finish at 22 typically, but I heard that Egyptian students (like Zarqawi) can be in medical school, or other graduate studies at 17, which would mean that higher education in Egypt is more like secondary education in the free world than higher education, since high school (secondary education) ends at 18 in the US. This website: says that college in Egypt lasts from age 14 to 17. Is that true, or does it work differently? I also… [cont.]

A. First of all I feel sorry for all Americans who are thinking the same way as yours ... If you don't know about EGYPT then I think it's your own problem, not the Egyptians, Second, Zarqawi is not EGYPTIAN, he is from Jordan then he lived in Iraq and died there, I'm sure now that you do know Iraq, also I'm sure that U don't know Jordan !!! Third, For education in Egypt, it's level is much higher than U think, for the age students finish high school is typically (17), and they finish college typically at (21), I've Just finished finished my first year exams in Engineering and my 18th birthday is next week, I' m wondering now if Egypt is the most developed country since the students in Egypt finish high school at (17), and in America they… [cont.]
