iPod or College?

Question

I have an iPod nano, but would like a video iPod. I'm saving up for college and I definately DON'T have the money for it yet. I can't decide whether to buy a video iPod and sell my nano or just put the money in my savings account for college. What do you guys think?

First of all, I know if I spend about $250 on an iPod, I can still go to college. I'm not that stupid. But some people don't have enough money to buy a car, pay for tuition, room, & board, and pay for all their necesities. I'm sorry to all of you pitiful people who think I'm so dumb I shouldn't go to college. Some people on this Earth just don't have enough money to get everything they want. I'm sorry for your precious time and you're welcome for the two points.

Answer 1

i think some people have misunderstood your question. its not a toss up between college classes and an ipod. The quandry is spending money on 1 -something that can easily break, be lost, stolen, and might go out of style or be considered inferior to newer techonology in a short period of time. or 2 - a savings account that will help you with a college education, which is as one person pointed out, a qualification that can allow to you make a lot of money to buy things that are way better than an ipod. COLLEGE

Answer 2

omfg, do u even have to ask that question? Ipods are nice, but no where near as valuable as a masters or bachelors degree from college. Because if you don't go to college, your job choices are limited, you can only be a waiter or a janitor. I say save up for college and after that, you can get a great job and buy almost whatever you want!! My dad is an engineer and I have a cellphone, an IPOD shuffle, an IPOD video, my own desktop computer, an IPOD pillow, and we live in a really nice house, so I say go for the savings bond for college.

Answer 3

My brother has a video iPod and rarely uses the video function. I have an iPod nano and always use the music function but never the pictures option. My point is that an iPod is a music player, first and foremost.

Ultimately, it is up to you the buyer. Do you see yourself using the video function enough to make it worth the money? Personally, I think college is the better choice due to the fact that you already have a nano.

I hope this helps.

Answer 4

Stick with Your nano!
Get to College,settle down on your Course-Then save for a Video iPod!
Or wait till '07 and save for the NEW iPod which will have the Complete front of the unit made of an LCD Display with Touch Sensitive controls!

Answer 5

College.

Answer 6

lets see for one you have the opportunity to go to college so dont take advantage of that sooooo if you really want the video iPod sell your nano and leave your college money in the bank

Answer 7

Ummmm......i think you have a SERIOUS lack of oxygen in your brain, i think that going to college, and getting an education, and having a job to actually PAY for your iPod is better than buying another one, and what the heck would you want to get a new one if you already have one?

Answer 8

I think you should spend the money and buy a video ipod i have one and enjoy it very much!

Answer 9

college is definitely more important than having a cooler ipod...be happy with the one you have...i personally like the nano better anyways...

Answer 10

Umm...very hard question. I think that you should sell the nano and buy the video. i dont think $250 would ruin your colllege fund! if you sell your old ipod then you would just have spend $150
