Re: I don't think it's a bad idea. @my Send a noteboard - 03/09/2009 01:45:24 PM
Mostly because it will make you happy. It will, won't it?

Her point though, isn't all that poor: I am in debt from school and make less than people who started out in Any Old Job™ and passed me, economically speaking (no debt and are now at comparable pay).


Here's the thing about that: You make comparable pay now. In 5 years, in 10 years, the gap will widen and widen. That's where the difference is made :)

So, she's not completely wrong, as far as the technicalities. But if you lost this job, it might be easier to get another with a degree, etc, etc, etc. And it will be what you want. That's always worth points in my book.


Thanks :)
