...Wow...Thank you!!

This is in response to another post I was just reading about what some of us were paying for LPN school....

True enough, there are some here that are paying very high tuition and then others that are are paying nearly nothing ( Lucky you ) I guess everyones situation varies due to different locations, long waiting lists and other personal circumstances.

As for me, cost wise, I guess I am somewhere in between, and was a tad about the cost, given what I know some are paying... however what really opened my eyes was a comment that another poster said regarding buying a car. She ( or "He" ) said something to the effect that one would pay $$$ for a vehicle and have it depreciate over time.....as opposed to "investing" $$$ in ones education and reaping the benefits afterwards...

I know these were not the posters exact words, but the meaning is the same.. I honestly never thought of it like that before and it really hit home because we just recently ( like 2 weeks ago..) brought a new vehicle to the tune of $20,000. Hubby wanted me to have something really reliable and good on gas...going back and forth to school etc.. Our other vehicle was a true gas guzzler and
starting to give us major problems...

I know that in 2, 3, 5 years..whatever....that same car will NOT be worth anywhere nears what we paid for it.....However what I pay ( Invest) in myself now , meaning my schooling, will pay for itself 10 fold..over the years to come...and that alone makes me .......I will no longer gripe about what I have to pay , nor will I be so shocked at those who are paying even more .....It takes what it takes.......

Anyway I deeply thank that poster for opening my eyes!!...my very best wishes to you...All of you...
ps: I love this place
