I love how student is coupled with spoiled rich kid. No one could possibly have a job while in college huh? How about include a category that says Non-student with "I'm angry at any young person with a nice car and make that fact apparent with every post" next to it.

Well mostly it's students who parents put down a large downpayment and they are making the relatively small payments so they think they are able to afford it. Or they are lying about paying for their M3. Or, they are actually able to afford it (rare). If you are a student and able to pay for your M3, kudos, but you are the exception, not the norm.

I just don't see how a student could afford school and an M3 together. There is just isn't enough time in a day to attend school AND have a job to pay for both.

Most high paying jobs require you to work the typical 40 hour work week and typical 8-5 or whatever schedule also. Hard to fit all the classes in that type of schedule. Of course, there are always exceptions but most kids are faking the funk.

yeah...it deserved two categories but I was unable to add it after the fact.

Besides, if you have a job that pays you enough to live on your own, pay for school and own an M3, then you shouldn't be categorized as a student; you are a working professional.

However, if mommy and daddy pay for your school and living expenses while you work to barely pay your M3 loan, then yes...you are a spoiled rich kid.

There aren't THAT many online classes at most the Universities and it would take you forever to finish your degree taking only online classes/night classes at most accredited unis.
