I did the math again last night on what my degree actually cost versus what I'm making four years out of school.

It is not a good number. Tuition plus interest versus my salary puts the break even point somewhere past year twelve, assuming nothing goes wrong between now and then.

My parents keep telling me a degree is still worth it no matter what, like it's a fact of nature instead of a bet that didn't pay off the way everyone promised it would.

I don't even know what I'm supposed to do with that information except keep paying it off anyway.

  1. This is SO real. My loan statement might as well be written in another language at this point!!
