Why would they pay school for you after you have already set up your life cooking? "After 8 years" makes me think you should already be independent.

I was independent the day I graduated high school. The issue is the fights and arguments about not going to college after high school and knowing that I wouldn't get help in life if I made that choice. It is ironic that later they tried very hard to persuade me not to give up the career they had previously opposed.

What is wrong with waiting until I was 26 to start college? I was not ready for college right out of high school.
