There is something to be said about having a car. Yes, they can be more trouble than they are worht, but, that is part of adulthood. Something I struggle with everyday is students who are incapable of managing there own affairs. Longball, I don't know you, so don't take anyof this personnal. I have seen too many students roll through prototype without a license, without a car, who don't know how to balance a checkbook. Do you need a car to be a successfull nuke? Not necessarilly, however, it gives me, your friendly prototype advisor, an insight to how you manage your personnal life. I have seen students who get rolled back, which is another completely different thread, and break down in tears because there support structure is graduating without them. Their Mommy still gives them an allowance. Their ride to work is shipping out to Guam. Their roommate is shipping out to Norfolk. They don't know how to pay the rent or utilities on their own. They come to work and say, 'I had this taped to my front door last week, EVICTION, what does that mean?'. Sorry, kind of a side tangent.
Longball, like I said, I don't know you. It's not really important when, but, by the time you check into prototype, you need to have a phone (cellphone or not) and a car. Again, not that they are military requirements, but they speak volumes to your ability to function as an adult.
