can't you do college at any age

in scotland it's free for life, in england it's free until you're 20 but I'd be getting it paid + I'm not gonna be 20 there

Depends on your financial situation. If you can afford holding out on getting a job after earning your degree, then go for the engineering. Itll be worth it in the long run. Ive had my Bachelors in Environmental Engineering since last spring with no true job offers yet.

maybe, I'm not sure what I'll be earning weekly but this flat looks good

Maxwell, you should move to the US. It's easy to be a citizen too.

the point is not the difficulty to become naturalized/come to the US, but the cost associated with it.

do you have any idea how expensive college is in the US, for even in-state students going to state-funded schools?? out of state/international tuitions generally come at a minimum of $30k a /semester/, not including housing/food/textbooks/fees for health insurance and the like.

i would highly suggest staying in the EU if you want to do college without having a massive financial burden, and come to the US for postgrad or for finishing off your undergraduate studies (aka junior/senior year) if you really want an engineering degree from a US school.

i would highly suggest staying in the EU

uhh yeah about that

I was thinking of getting the degrees here and then using them to get a job in the us, but would I need a degree from the US to get a job?

ok like i mean Europe no the EU specifically cause european colleges are generally cheaper by far lol

no you dont need a degree from the US to get a job. remember that employers are simply looking for people they believe can do the job best - if you have job experience and internship experience it goes a lot farther than just having a college degree and certain courses. that said, if you really want to do aerospace engineering you really should look into the available programs and the schools best known for aerospace engineering and try to go somewhere that ranks reasonably high on the list.


on the topic of living alone/on your own - its less difficult than you imagine, but you do have to juggle a lot more payments/paperwork than you may be used to. talk to your parents and ask them what do they have to do/pay for on a monthly basis, and maybe even ask to see some of said bills and such. its not terribly complex, but having someone explain it to you will make things less scary/stressful/worrisome.

I said no to getting a job to cover me, but at this point I don't know if they pay me for other things and if they do I don't know if it'll be enough to live off of

I've asked around and I'm hearing them say blackpool isn't the most expensive place in britain either

yo dont be a bitch about it, living on your own isnt hard at all, and im sure your parents would be happy to help you with any problems you had. find an affordable apartment/studio/duplex/whatever you guys have over there to live in for a year. idk about there, but for me to rent out an apartment would be about $400-$500 a month, which i can afford on a $9 an hour salary (including food ect) working 20 hours a week.

i understand that it might seem overwhelming and all that, but honestly the first year of college is going to be overwhelming anyways, and you're going to have to move out sooner or later. trust me, you'll actually have a lot of fun. nothing beats sadly contemplating why you should go to class tomorrow at 1 am with a bottle of stuffty vodka and ramen noodles this stuff is lit trust me

it does sound exciting and fun, I dunno though if I take up a part time job I might be juggling college and it around and that sounds like a lot but that depends in some things

also what about your electricity and other things? and internet? how basic were you living, or were you living without internet and (somedays) electricity?

I'm asking this too because I really have no clue on price scaling either, to me $9 a week doesn't sound much and if I'm gonna be juggling college and a job that might be a 2-3 day work week, I will probably work more than that though and maybe on college days but right now it seems really unclear on how to manage it with as little stress as possible, but at that point I guess I'm hoping for an ideal situation

why aren't you able to, for example, get the degree over there then come over here to america to work with spacex? is it about moving away or is there some other factor i'm missing
either way gl with the career in general

I was planning on doing that, the problem is getting a degree good solid degree here as best as I can and I have options

I'll worry about the whole moving to america thing after but for now it's moving to live on my own first at what to me seems a really young age

thats including all utilities. $9 an HOUR dude. idk what minimum wage is in the uk and im  not familiar with pricing, but and cant be much different than here. i make off perfectly fine, i dont eat lavish meals every night, but its incredibly easy to budget yourself. i have never been late on my bills, my room im renting isnt amazing by any means, but its very livable. i have wifi, electricity, heat, ac, only thing i dont have is cable because i dont watch tv. tl;dr i live pretty decent, but im p stingy with money and all that, but i still have about $20~ a week to spend on misc. things

all in all dude, its not gonna be a cakewalk, but i would strongly encourage you to take this opportunity (because this is a very very nice opportunity) if you can find a job that you can work 15-20 hours a week. if your parents can assist you with rent/food at all that would be amazing, idk what your families financial situation is tho. lifes tough but this could be a great stepping stone into your career, and a great learning experience. lots of people would kill for the offer your getting

EDIT: i should add that any payment towards my schooling is either made during the summer or through scholarship or taken out in student loans. i dont pay anything towards it during the school year. just to clarify
