Then you're probably, IMHO, looking at the whole experience the wrong way. Getting my degrees cost money, sure, but I got to meet people, experience things, and go places (then and since) that most people don't get to go (at least the latter). I wouldn't give it up for the world, even the most stressful times - and that includes paying back the loans that always seemed like so much more than the pay benefits I received in return - because it's a part of what made me who I am.
'Course, a good acid trip might do the same, for a lot less. Your call.

New times and old times

In the technology field. No. Sadly not. And with the fact that many people are attending college now, a degree is accepted as the norm. Degree's are not worth going into the huge debts that are seemingly required for us to do now-a-days.
I think that unless you are doing scientific, medical, or law degree's the payback just is not there anymore.
Of course this is just my opinion.

Depends on a number of things...
Submitted By: Noir ( 308 days, 10 hours, 20 minutes ago )
1. Can you keep your costs down while attaining it? If you accumulate more than a year's starting income in your future employment, you're probably spending too much.
2. Are you learning something you will be able to use after school? A professional degree (engineer, doctor, lawyer) is priceless. A degree in liberal arts, not so much.
3. Do you put value in knowledge? With information being so simple to acquire, it has never been so simple to be self-taught about the ways of the world. You no longer need a college education. Take a laptop to the library and surf Wikipedia and follow your interests. You can attain an "education" in most things by doing nothing more than that.
A degree is only as useful as you can make it. And you won't recoup your investment right away. The best thing to do is to avoid getting too far into debt. Because it takes a considerable amount of time to pay off 30K when all you make is 32K a year. Hold off on the stereo or partying 4 nights a week. Hold off on the designer jeans and shoes. Go to school to study and make connections that can last you a long time. Otherwise, you've wasted 4 years of your life to get a piece of paper that's nearly useless these days.

Depends on how the whole process of getting it changes your life. Generally pretty mush never worth the time, effort or money.
