Duke 1, you are god damn right... 9 years ago i came into this country. my first summer, i came down in Colorado to find a temp jobs and returned back to resume my studies. That year there were some illegal Nepalis , fresh out of the plane living in fear. 9 years after they allhave green cards, houses, secure jobs, and dignity. and i have nothing..so being out of status is not the end of the world... they were all out of status to begin with and got their green card somehow...
but stick with school, my undergrad gpa was crap.. and i couldn't even dare to ask for any assistanceship.. yes, 2.7 in 5 years of undfergrad was not glorious.. i wish i had never gone to school and just statred working , i could have made a lot of money to start someone out on my own by now...
