To reply to both, very good, replies, I definitely plan to attend college once getting somewhere. Maybe I should have either switched the order of my questions, or worded them differently. Maybe question three: Am I stuck in po-dung city the until I get a formal education? Call me what you will, but I refuse to take a crappy job (flipping burgers, stocking shelves) while going through college. Sorry for any confusion. The other questions are still relevent. Thanks for fast replies.
