Despite having multiple graduate degrees I maintain I wouldn't have done any of this if I got to re-do my life. Took me a decade, my husband and I have $200k in student loans EACH, and now I'm in my early 30's struggling to have kids because I waited too long.
I'd join the military or become an electrician (or a different trade). I just hired one for my kitchen and he makes the same per hour I do.
School is stupid, expensive, and political. You jump through hoops until you get an expensive piece of paper.
I happened to go install a battery in the car of this lawyer my wife cleaned house for. We got to discussing the mechanic business, and I told him what I charged for heavy diesel, or hydraulic repairs.
Dude couldn't believe how much it was. He is a good guy, and worked his butt off, and he said he wishes he had done something with real meaning. So it's not uncommon for white collar ppl to rethink life choices
Problem is once you’re that far in debt, rethinking isn’t really an option. And I didn’t realize med school wasn’t my cup of tea until I was already 6 years/6 figures into it.
I just wish someone had told me when I was 18 and taking out loans that there were options besides formal college.
