im 16 years and 2 days. this year im gonna be a junior. im appyling for jobs tomorrow. i want to live in luxury when im older and i figure if i start now ive got a chance. i want to major in sociology, minor in physcology. how do i go about it?
should i get my general ed done first at a city? transfer to a state for a degree? and then transfer and get my whatever you get at uc's? (i could get into a state im sure once i graduate but idk if i could get into a uc. ill have a 3.8 gpa when i graduate)
are taking out student loans a good idea?
live at home duyring my generel ed years so i can save up on the money? or just get a bunch of room mates?
once im hired im gonna save 10%-20% of my paycheck. good? or more?

i think you have your majors backwards- major in Physcology and minor in soc...you can still get soc jobs and perhaps have your own practice someday.
Go to the best state school you can if that's cheaper- how much quality can you receive when you're working a job and going 2 school too- loans are there only if you can't get a scholarship. Use them but remember they will come due and you HAVE to pay them back...
If you can't get housing on a SCHOLARSHIP then get roomies. Save home as a last option, you need to GROW and living away from the parents is a part of that.
10-20% is very realistic and put it into a ROTH IRA for the first 5 yrs. Then split between the roth and a money market- you want layers of difficulty between you and your nest egg, say when you fall in love with that new sportscar!
you sound like a very pragmatic person who will be a sucess if you keep working- work hard, PLAY hard! good luck...

Unless your family is wealthy enough to afford college at the moment payment palns are gennerally a good idea, psycholorgy is a good choice because theirs ussually alot of money in that career.

Your going to do a lot better faster if you own your own business. Thats where all the money is.
check out: www.quixtar.com. This business rocks and it only costs the price of a Costco membership to start your own business! Good luck!

You better double check your choices of Major & Minor.
These will not produce much money!
Do some research and "remember" think ahead!
PS:Computer Science/Programming?
Telecomuniction?
Law?
Medical?
"Think Ahead!"

The short answer to this is, Yes... If you want to save alot of money, staying home is the way to go
