That's me but I wouldn't trade my college experience. Can't put a price tag on some things.

This was probably true for me my first year after undergrad. My first job was one that i could have gotten a couple years after HS. However, I went to grad school after that and now I'm much better off.

Sometimes that undergrad degree looks like a bust but it can still create opportunities for you.

I totally agree. My buds with college degrees are between 40k - 50k. The ones that didn't go to college have no debt and are in the 70s
