I regret it, but wouldn't change anything I think. I met my wife at college and would never had met her otherwise. That's the only thing I got from my college years.

It was fun and I learned a lot, but I'm 80k in debt and not making much more than I was working in the factories and warehouses.

Give me 3-4 years more and I'll be better off, but right now it just sucks.



I don't want to speak for you, but it sounds more like the debt sucks, not so much college and the experience? I can understand that. I haven't finished my degree (yet!), but I promised myself I would never go into debt for it. I sorely miss my college days!
