[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all are missing the point that OP is directionless.  If she found something that sparked her interest, an $80K loan might be worth it, but she hasn't found IT.  For me it was architecture/urban planning/geography, which all use STEM as a means not an end.  [b]Find the end you want and the means will be more than tolerable to get you there.  Without a goal it's all meaningless.  [/b]Does anybody still use "What Color is My Parachute?"[/quote]

Spoken like a true rich kid who majored in architecture.

OP, the goal for you is to START BUILDING GENERATIONAL WEALTH, which your parents clearly failed at. It doesn't matter which job you choose -- all jobs suck eventually. Just take the highest paying one possible -- McKinsey, Deloitte, whatever -- and start job hopping every two years until you hit 30. Meanwhile, live as frugally as possible so you can pay off your loans and start saving for a downpayment.

Seeking fulfillment or happiness out of your career is for rich kids only. Chase the bag, OP. No first-gen Asian has ever regretted taking a high-paying job. [/quote]
