College = worth it...?

Posted by [email protected] on January 16, 2014 at 12:00 AM

At the moment I'm feeling very much that no, college was not worth it. I can't get a job, and I'm over $100,000 in debt. I can't make monthly payments because I don't have a proper full time job. The rate things are going, I am going to be in debt for the rest of my life. So with that in mind, no college is not worth the expense. I'm going to be paying back forever what should have been a stepping stone into the 'real' world and what is instead a weight around my ankles pulling me down. And I'm not alone. I've heard stories of others in similar situations to mine. And while some people seem to have managed to pay off school loans entirely, I can't figure out how they did it. Did they live on air until they paid those loans back? I pay no rent, and am currently not even paying for food even though I should. I pay the cell phone bill in return for my parents paying car insurance, which is about the same. I have been cutting back on as much spending as I can possibly manage. Yet my monthly bill pay is always more than my monthly income. I don't understand it...and it's getting me very depressed.
