and you finance your education for student loans?

I'm getting criticized for never finishing college by my relatives but I didnt wanna take the gigantic risk of burying myself in debt when i'm not even 100% sure the degree will pay off

At this point you should find an Associate's degree that leads to a good job

For myself yeah. I couldn't pay a single penny for school, so I had to go completely on loans, grants, and scholarships. Ended up with about 25k in debt, but I have a good job with good benefits that I wouldn't have without school. I'll probably have to do the same for my master's degree soon, but the pay grade bump will be worth it long term.

Anyone who would condemn someone leaving college due to financial issues is an absolute moron and I despise those kind of people.

Dropped out in one year and I'm on my way to 6 figures. College. Is. Not. Needed.

Agreed, but your situation definitely isn't the norm.

It's worth having because the payoff of a college degree over your lifetime will outpace your debt unless you major in some shit

It depends on what you would study and the dollar amount of the loans.

Obviously depends on the degree. These kids going $200k in debt for a humanities degree are fucking morons, but engineering and medical fields are easily worth it.
