Yes!!!  Be a teacher or social worker or whatever you want.  But if you have a desire to drive luxury cars, take 2 fancy vacations a year to Hawaii or Europe, eat out 3-4x/week, etc then perhaps your career cannot support the desired lifestyle.  So you need to either adjust your career path or adjust your lifestyle choices.  You can't have both of them sometimes, so you must pick

Similarly, don't take more college loans than 1x what your starting salary will likely be.   So yes, engineers/CS majors could take a bit more in loans, but if you are a theater major, probably better to have minimal loans [/quote]
