<p>Did “stop donating 20% if your income to charity” not make the cut? Too simple and easy, eh?</p>
<p>Stop harassing me…pretty please?</p>
<p>Whoops, guess I posted on the wrong thread. I have an idea on the previous one, do you want me to post it here?
And seriously bzva92, lay off her. She can’t change her situation; it may bother you, but you’ve made your point. Just let it be.</p>
<p>Sure, arunemo 
That’d be great</p>
<p>Take a gap year or two to save/make more money before attending.</p>
<p>And not just more time for you parents to save money-- you could get a job, learn a new skill and use that to make money, etc.</p>
<p>I thought about it, but I think my parents would die lol also, I would have to live at home, so I might die ;D</p>
<p>It is a good idea, though :)</p>
<p>Does Yale have any sort of ROTC scholarship from any branch of the military? You could apply for that if the deadline isn’t already passed. I know the Air Force ROTC deadline is passed, but I don’t think the others’ are.</p>
<p>You’d probably get it, considering you were capable of getting into Yale SCEA.</p>
<p>^Wouldn’t I have to have already been in the ROTC or could I join when I got in?</p>
<p>Actually, I guess not…but there is a service obligation…and I have a physical disability that might limit my ability to complete certain tasks in the military.</p>
<p>Another good idea for someone who is physically adept ;)</p>
<p>^They may have adjustments for those with disabilities. There are certainly ways to serve in the military without much physical exertion. Check it out, if you’re interested.</p>
<p>Thanks! I’ll see if it would be possible to do a more “desk job” sort of training</p>
<p>Gap year idea is good, though if you are taking it to save money it would be boring as hell. To maximise income you would have to: Live at home, not party, work really hard in a fairly boring job (don’t think you could get anything interesting and well paying just out of school). Computer freelance is a pretty good idea if you know where to look. I am pretty good with computers and have had employment with them but not sure where I could find freelance work? If you do know please tell me… Online poker can be beaten though unless you are a natural will take a while to make anything substantial…</p>
<p>Online poker lol that could be fun 
would have to be 18 though…
Some small computer repair shops hire comp. oriented people if you know the mechanics…I have a kindergartner’s knowledge of object pascal, so not so good for me. I have been exploring python, though
You also could set up your own business…some sort of tech hot line if you are more of a troubleshooting-type guy or work for a small company doing light programming (maybe more likely to hire someone young if they are just starting up) if that’s your interest</p>
