Is it worth taking out more student loans to live the college experience?
Posted on 4/7/21 at 9:00 am
Posted on 4/7/21 at 9:00 am
Looking for some advice.
Right now I live at home with my parents and attend the local community college. I also work full time (office bitch) and go out with a good group of friends on the weekends and the occasional weekday.
I could attend the local university and keep my student loans to a minimum or go off and live the college experience, bang hotter girls, probably make better connections (although not in my city) but I would probably rack up at least 10,000 a year in debt, and that’s assuming I found time to have a job.
So what would you do in my situation? I plan to major in accounting or finance or some other business concentration.
Some jobs I have thought about/looked into:
Accountant
Paralegal (and go to lawschool if I really like it)
Compliance
Real estate appraiser/possibly CRE agent
Landman/right of way agent/title abstractor
Any advice is appreciated

For you, no.

How many loans do you need for a shitty apartment, Mac and Cheese and Beast Light

You may regret saying that after a few pages with this crowd.

Start working out and eating right and develop a personality and interests so I wouldn't have to pay to be around or have a shot with hot chicks.
Money only matters to chicks if you're ugly or fat or they're about to marry you. If you're a good looking and interesting dude who takes care of yourself they'll let you in for a few months.

Why not get a part time job to avoid taking out loans? Plus there should be plenty of hot bangable chicks at wherever you work

I already bang hot girls but I am kind of limited due to the city I live in

What do you think an accountant would tell you...

Don't do it. Unless Biden is about to forgive student loans. If so, live it up!

Stay in community college, load up on certificates, keep the debt low.

Don’t start going into debt until you know exactly what you want to do and if the debt is worth it. Especially for an undergraduate degree.
The college “experience” can get pretty old pretty fast and is different for everyone. I wouldn’t go into a ton of debt to live in a shitty apartment for a couple years if you’re getting a comparable education now.

I don’t really want to be one but it seems like the most stable and highest paying job that I would be semi-interested in

Student loans are free now you idiot. Go get as much as you can before republicans shut the door.

So you’d spend this windfall of student loan money on chloroform, gotcha.

College is an absolute joke these days, dont do anything that will put you into debt. Most of those jobs you listed you dont even need a degree to do. If you are serious about accounting maybe its worth it, but anything else just go to Juco and see if they will hire you.
College is a glorified certificate of completion. Unless you are majoring in something very specific it is not worth it. There is a reason there are so many college grads out there waiting tables and making coffee.

Best advice I can give anyone is do not get into a career that you don’t like or hate, no matter what the pay is. No amount of money is worth being in a career that you are miserable doing.

As someone who works closely with higher education, my advice to young people is don't just think about right now but think 5 years from now. If a person could get a college degree and graduate with almost zero debt, why not take that option?
The reality is the meaningless flings and parties that you attend and participate in to have the "college experience" are probably not worth being 40-60k in debt when you graduate with a Bachelor's that may/may not guarantee you have a job. Make the smart decision for yourself and don't just be so focused on the moment now but how you set yourself up 5 or 10 years from now.

I don’t want to be looked down on for the rest of my life for not having one. Also, my friend thinks it would be a good idea to get out of town for a while and live the party live. I already have a shite ton of fun here but I can only imagine if I lived in a place with an actual university and more young people

It would probably be more like 20k
