Im still trying to figure out whether or not I should finish college at UNCC or if I should go to CPCC for the next year and transfer to somewhere like Chapel Hill or NC State. Both of them are more prestigious.

How much difference does it really make though? UNCC does not have the major that I originally wanted to go there for, Entrepreneurship. Now I am looking at either taking Marketing or Economics. I really want to do both if I end up staying but that would keep me in school for 3-4 more years. Hell I really have 3 years without summer classes just to finish one major because I have wasted time on classes for my American Studies minor and I am 2 classes short of a minor in Sociology. I am comfortable there but there is no real campus life so to say, I have lived in Charlotte all of my life.

UNC is just more valuable all around, they have more financial aid available, and I could focus more in the area of where I was originally trying to go or just focus in on Economics. I don't know why I choose to leave the option out at UNCC but hell just for this argument I can't. There are other options right now but they require me moving to other states and probably losing ANOTHER year in the whole transition phase so I don't know.

I need to figure out a new job because I cant stand waiting table at Carrabba's anymore because the people I work with are so much older than me, I dont see myself being offered the position that I really want for another year or so, and it is in the slow "season" doubled with gas prices so tip percentage has also decreased for a good number of customers.

I just want to go to another restaurant with an atmosphere that I will like better, I dont know how else to explain it. I want to go somewhere that I stand a half decent shot at being able to bartend within a matter of months. I wouldnt mind working somewhere like Panera Bread or another McAlister's, maybe even a coffee shuop. Money is the main concern there unless I can somehow start out above 9 which I dont see happening. I have even begun thinking about working at Citi with my Stepdad but I am not sure if that is something that would cause me to end up sacrificing more financial aid down the road or cause me to lose focus. Who knows.
