December 4 th Italian referendum will lose and send the banks into further trouble . France looks like it might elect a woman who supports an exit from the EU as well next spring and Germany is going to kick out Merkel in the fall <| sep |> Probz . I never did like it much . <| sep |> I ' m a student in South Dakota and getting my PhD . At least for my university , being a graduate student of the sciences earn you a salary . I ' m 22 . Most people who are my age are either done with school or didn ' t go to school . Those that went to school generally go for 4 years and get a bachelors degree and stop because that alone is rather spendy . But , on the flip side , it allows one to obtain a well paying job much more easily . Those that don ' t go to college generally get a rather low paying job , but nothing that is difficult to live off of . 10 dollars an hour pay isn ' t much but someone would be more than able to live out here with that . All in all , when you turn 18 you go bankrupt and expect to be able to live on your own . The only reason I believe I ' m still doing well is that I took a year off and worked my ass off to earn enough money . Also , getting a degree is something useful is beneficial .
