So your solution to being in debt is to put yourself deeper in the hole by getting a degree with questionable returns?

What could go wrong?


It's not questionable. Librarians are usually in demand and get paid really well.

Library and Information Science.


Hmmm.

Do scholarships, apply for everything under the sun, see if your job/future job ( what are you going to do with this? ) will help you out.

100k in student loans is no joke. You're about 66k in now, so how much a year do you make now?


My 66k will be paid off in 10 years so I'm not too worried about that. With what I was planning last night it seems that I can pay off about a third to half of this degree while I'm working on the degree so it seems pretty feasible and with becoming a librarian I'll end up making about $20k more a year than I make now. Librarians in my city make $80-90k a year at public libraries.

Dude, at this point just stop man. If you are that far in with debt, then you are now going to realize it's probably going to take you the rest of your life to pay off right? I still don't understand why anyone would do this...judt find a trade school or community college. 4 year degrees are like a joke. The more money you borrow the more you are selling yourself less then you are even worth and people rarely come out happy because of it by paying off shit loads of debt.


No it's not going to take the rest of my life. I consolidated my first set of loans and it's a 10 year loan. It'll be paid off when I'm 38. I have a well paying job.
