You can still get paid to study though, which makes scholarships nice
Fair point
I took it to be the act of engaging in scholarly study, not a financial scholarship for fees.
There is free education and free education. If I don't pay for university but I still need to pay for food and rent, I need scolarship to actually dedicate myself to my studies.
One can lead to the other if you play your cards right
Sadly, my degree in computer science didn't bring me any relationship :(
No professional relationship either?
Having experienced both, Iโd like to have a debate on the subject. And, having experienced both, I can come prepared.
Having had neither, I am willing to debate you
Are you ready to debate?
Speaking as a girl that has had boyfriends, but no formal education, I agree.
A starship so I can get the hell off this planet.
Depend which one but I can't say it is wrong.
Ship of thesis
I agree as a man. I mean relationships are good but scholarships are way better, although no relationship is poor too. However, money is the best.
