Today, I called my dad at his new wife's house to inform him I was all set to graduate from community college with my associates degree and that we needed to sit down and plan how to pay for the 4 year degree. To which he replied "all a girl needs is an associates degree". Thanks dad. FML

Your dad is an idiot. FYL. But grow up and learn to take financial responsibility for yourself.

How is any of this indicative of her not taking financial responsibility? I paid for my degree myself, but my parents still sat down with me and helped me figure out what I was doing with loans, etc. Asking someone experienced to help you is one of the smartest and most responsible things you can do.

I still don't really get what an associates degree is? Do you need it as a sort of entrance to university where you get a bachelor's degree?

No, you don't actually need it to get your Bachelors. Some people get it on the way to their Bachelors, but there are also multiple careers that only require an associates degree. It's just a 2 year degree, and it's usually earned at a Community College instead of a University. There are many nurse's that only have an associates. Heck, my career doesn't even need an associate's, just vocational schooling.

#47: you are wrong! Women need an education to fall back on and not count on the bf or hubby to provide with no back up plan. If a woman who was married 10yrs, with only a hs education gets divorced, she will have a tough time trying to support herself and her kids.

Strange, I did post a reply, but it has gone missing. Anyway, proper conversations are fine, so long they start off as relevant. After all, the reply feature is for replying to a comment and its content, not just for getting your own comment to the top of the page.

Your dad is right. The first year, they teach you how to give ********, and the second year you learn how to make great sammiches. What else could you need to learn? jk OP, your dad is a prick. FYL
