How old were you when Harvard offered you your scholarship?

I was very likely younger when Yale offered me one. Full 4 years, free.

Well, I used the GI bill to get my education, along with a full time job....guess I don't belong with the intellectual heavyweights..

I was a month short of 10. That twerp started it.

I paid my tuition at Northeastern, working co-op. must have been much easier for you at Yale on scholarship, and not have to work and study and bet hosses at the same time. Thurston Howell III spoke of you Yale men often. It's Sunday, shouldn't you be prayin for a happy death instead of being on the computer? have a nice summer, El Prado.

This is fun, I'll join in . . . EP is always fun. I had the GI bill, scholarships and fellowships to put my 8 years together. Married with 2 kids. And a couple of loans. Helk man, nowadays I'd have to have a part time job too and sell drugs on the side to afford it. And now I work at the Great Dallas Zoo. HUH!? We actually have ponies at the zoo for kiddy rides so there's my horse forum connection. Cute ponies too!

Going the military route can pay dividends....tony and I are both vets, as is our oldest. He works on the river now with a big towboat company out of paducah, he loves that job....and great pay and benefits. Tony has a great job as an electrician which he learned there.
Our youngest was hoping to go to Annapolis, but didn't make it. Lsu made a nice offer, but after talking with the recruiter, he joined the navy. Why pay to get a degree when they'll teach you while you get paid, and get hands on experience to boot? and he still has a shot at OCS and his real dream of being a pilot. In the meantime, he went nuclear electronic tech....and just got a massive bonus for reupping to 2019. They don't like spending all that time on training and qualifying just to have you leave, so they made it worth his while to stay.
