Re: Going to school can be bad if..... @my Send a noteboard - 03/09/2009 01:55:01 PM
.....you incur a ton of debt AND it doesn't improve your career/job situation (i.e., your income doesn't increase or you are not able to make the career change you were hoping for).
For now anyway, I have a pell grant, and am incurring zero debt. I am also going to school w/in a couple miles (literally) of my house. And their will be a career change.

Also, it is tough to get a new job in this economy.....so hopefully you are going to school for at least a year or two (economy may be better then).

The large majority of the time, more degrees/schooling is a good thing, but not always.


I have 2 full years left, plus a little bit (not much, but I'm taking a couple of refreshers before moving forward). I'm estimating a 5 year time frame since I won't be full time since I'll be going part time since I have so many other responsibilities. If the economy hasn't improved by then.. then it never will. I also think that I"ll be able to move jobs w/in about 3 years, if at a completely entry level position. Foot in the door type of thing.

Thanks for your thoughts :)
