I whole heartily regret it. My biggest regret in my entire life was college.
Graduated from Drexel University with a Business degree...minored in finance and accounting...landed the job i wanted as a financial analyst at NASA. Still have 60k in debt im 26 years old and have already paid 25k. My loan payments are $1,100 a month....i make 75k a year...which with my loan payments basically is like making 40k.
You work your *** off at your job just to try to get your nose above the water line so you can breath some air. I am finally there but with the loan payments and rent i live off 1 paycheck a month...and thats not even counting car, cell phone, gas and other essentials. By the time i hit 80-90k i might be living like a normal person. I won't be "free" until im in my 40s.
That thought constantly weighs on me, it hampers everything in my life. I have second thoughts about getting into a relationship because i can't afford it...can't even think about if i knocked a girl up and had to pay for a kid....my life would be ruined. All i can take from it is i got got by the system.
damn.
