Hell, my degree’s in Theology. Talk about not very useful in the marketplace! I’m not even religious. (At the time, I was the only Buddhist in the Theology department at a Catholic university. I’m not very Buddhist anymore.) But I loved it, and if I had the chance, I’d go back for a
Masters.

I guess I’m un-American– I paid my student loan. Everyone told me, “No one pays their student loans, they just keep getting deferrals.” But I’m a little old-fashioned: I hate debt.

Well, I got a B.A. in Psychology…

Then went back to college ten years after that to get a 2 year degree in computer programming (which really was useful in terms of jobs)

Schooling broadens your horizons and teaches you how to think, so maybe it wasn’t a total loss.

Maybe President Obama will do something about student loan debt.

Soooo… would this mean relieving the student loan debt I accrued as single parent raising four children alone, pursuing the most efficient means I could find to effectively raise my family?

Not that the degree(s) has done me a bit of good, my y’all.
