Regrets

Monday, February 11th, 2008

A client asked me Saturday night if I regret going to college and graduate school for two degrees that I will never use.  From a purely financial standpoint, it was a complete waste of $130K.   If I had chosen to return to teaching in 2001, I would still be paying off student loans and credit card bills in effort to re-coup the cost of my higher education.  For many priviledged middle class individuals, college isn’t purely a financial decision…it’s just “what you do after you graduate high school.”  Thus, from a life experience standpoint, It was worth every penny.  I made some of my dearest friends in Letts Hall at AU.  Even though they may think I’m nuts; ever since I came clean about what I do for a living they have supported my decision to be a little different.
