I looked into this as well, relocation killed it for me. You aren’t able to work in the field office near where you currently live to prevent possible bias issues.SAWCE wrote:Desertbreh wrote: ↑Thu Jul 05, 2018 4:52 pm We're presently veering towards International Relations/FBI/CIA stuff.
I saw an opening out here for a Special Agent with the FBI, and seriously thought about applying. After carefully reading through their policies though, I for sure wouldn't have passed the drug portion, and you have to be clean for 10 years and apply before you turn 37, so I'm SOL.
Don't they pay for relocation fees?Calvinball wrote: ↑Thu Jul 05, 2018 6:40 pmI looked into this as well, relocation killed it for me. You aren’t able to work in the field office near where you currently live to prevent possible bias issues.SAWCE wrote:

I don’t remember, but by the time I looked into it we had enough roots down that it was a dillbreaker.razr390 wrote:Don't they pay for relocation fees?Calvinball wrote: ↑Thu Jul 05, 2018 6:40 pm I looked into this as well, relocation killed it for me.

I just submitted my final payment of $1,964. It's been a really big pain in my ass but I paid back about $40,000. Thank God my tuba scholarship paid for most of college because that was bad enough.
I am now (other than my monthly CC balance) 100% debt free. Paid off car, student loans, and all other debts.
Feels good man.
Thats awesome, im just tad over a year away for my mk7's payoff, just in time for future potential german repairs and maintenance comes in. Definitely consider keeping it till around 90-100k. Given my driving situation as of right now, roughly 2.5 years.

GTIs are pretty good cars really, other than a few lemons. I will likely own one again.D Griff wrote: ↑Mon Jul 23, 2018 8:34 pm As of today, exactly seven years, two months, and 12 days after graduation, I am officially finished paying off my student loans.

Couldn’t agree more. It’s just a genuinely good car as a viable only car for an enthusiast, great for road trips, super easy to park in DC. When I move onto something else, i’ll definitely miss it. I can see whyD Griff wrote: ↑Mon Jul 23, 2018 8:42 pmMexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Mon Jul 23, 2018 8:38 pm

, final payment was to Navient. I paid back Nelnet 2 years ago. It took my ~4.5 year to pay back $11k borrowed. SoD Griff wrote: ↑Tue Jul 24, 2018 10:06 am
I actually remember viewing this back when I graduated... Sallie sold my loans a few years back
It's funny though, I still haven't yet matched my income right after graduation. I worked a 9-6 job at Miami Beach for $15/hour then would go work at night clubs/weddings in the evenings making $30-60/hour as a sound mixer. Working 14 hours/day most days sucked but I paid $10k off of my loans in the first six months. It was slow going ever since.
