[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I double majored in History and English, because I loved studying them. People consistently told me you can do ANYTHING with these degrees[/quote] LOL, who on EARTH told you that?[/quote] NP here. That's exactly what my (high school graduate) parents told me as well. I was kind of aimless in college and majored in art. Ran up 24k in debt. I've never had a high paying job (topped out at 43k) but I still managed to pay off the debt in only a few years, simply by living very frugally. I'm not much of a career-oriented person, but at least I have the "talent" of not being high maintenance. Age 36, net worth 220k. So no, I don't feel too sorry for many of these people who got into debt from college and credit cards.[/quote] How do you have a net worth of 220k when you're 36 and you topped out at $43k after running up $24k in debt? The math isn't working here.[/quote]
