Why are people taking out 100,000 dollars in debt to go to this school?
Why do people take on incredible amounts of debt to go to any school?
Genuinely asking, I have no idea why I did it either.
It was hammered into me that it’d be the only way I could get a job and not live a shit life. To be fair, I do live moderately well, but that’s just because I live cheap and don’t have a family.
Yep, basically this for me too.
A degree certainly doesn’t guarantee a good job, and a lack of a degree certainly doesn’t preclude a good job, but they both change the odds.
I’m paying out the ass on student loans every month, but also I have a pretty fantastic job for someone barely a year out of school and there’s basically no way I’d have it if hadn’t gone to a school of the caliber (or higher) that I went to.
