Parents have the money to pay for my education, but won't because of my grades.

3/10

I'm sure you will get some good responses.

1. People will complain about how cheap school in Canada is compared to the US

2. People will say you should work harder, possibly with their own personal anecdotes about how much smarter/ harder working they are.

3. People will tell you to major in something useful like computer science.

4. They will ask what your 5k PR is

(5) Someone might complain about how high Canadian taxes.

Major in herbology.

BC Bud for this win.

You should take some lower division trolling classes. You really need the help.

Wow, Canada? Bad choice. Super high taxes.

What's your 5k PR? If you're slow, you might consider majoring in computer science as it is very useful.

But overall you need to work harder. I am very smart and dedicated, and despite many setbacks I put in the hours and LOOK AT ME NOW DAMN IT.

Canada? That place is so damn cheap compared to the US. You're lucky.

Rich kid probs

they offered to pay for my education as long as I maintained a passing grade in school.

So your trolling that the university will let you in without a passing grade?

The world will need plumbers and mechanics for the foreseeable future. You can bring in dang near six figures doing either one of those without a college education.

Well done.

Just maintain a C average. Use ratemyprofessor and look at previous years' syllabi to determine who the easy profs are. Its not hard to get c's if you do all the work for class and study for the tests. You don't have to put in a lot of effort, just enough to get by. This should net you some B's and maybe even A's too which will pull up any D's.

As a parent whose kids are approaching college age, I can see their point. No matter how much money I have I wouldn't pay their tuition if they were mediocre high school students going to college to study history. I worked hard for that money and that would be a waste. They would just be paying for you to party, flunk out, then loaf around in their basement for several years.

no work, low grades, no pay

History major? Just move into the basement now and save them the money.

They said they might consider paying for the education of the child they sponsored from Uganda. Sucks.

Why don't you want to take/What do you have against student loans?

They really aren't that bad.

Because I don't have to! My parents make a lot of money, why should I have to take student loans like the other 90% of the population

If they make that much, you won't qualify to take student loans. You will have to take real loans. The only way you will get a real loan is for them to co-sign.

You have your parents right where you want them. They have to pay now, pay later (when you default) or open up their basement. Don't give in and raise your grades, just keep trolling here at Letsrun.

Why are you getting mad?

Parents don't see you as a good investment. Don't take it personal, you just aren't worth their hard earned money.
