It seems like every time you get another degree your income goes down.

I should have never gone past 6th grade, dammit!

Please stop now, for a breather.

Higher education (degrees) may be just union cards for some,
but it can be so much more... leading to a life with more interests
and appreciation of things, other than the "job".

OMG, but I hated it when my folks sat around the dinner table,
and bitched about their "jobs". Who said what... What was said back.

My folks encouraged me to go on to college, and then through grad school, and then post-doc.
By then, my HS friends were in jobs, had families, and had "things".

While in college, I was jealous and frustrated. It took several years
to catch up on the $, but I believe my life and my family's life were
so much better due to time in college and university.
And, I enjoyed my career... a lot.

Debt is one thing, but it's not irreversible.
Earning a living is necessary, but it's not sufficient.
