crushing debt
for what could be considered obvious reasons, student debt has been weighing on my mind fairly heavily. what is the advanced degree worth? granted i would be able to get into more specialized job descriptions than what i have now, but it seems like, at least initially, the pay would not be significantly more than what i am making now. obviously i want the advanced degree, if only for my own piece of mind, but also because of the knowledge it will give me...and hopefully it will give me a return on my eventual repayment which will include paying almost twice as much back as i borrowed. cnn has a great article about student loan debt and how people in my generation are just basically fucked. and you know how it goes...the rich keep getting richer, etc ad nauseum.

Did you see the Special on 60 Minutes about how Sallie Mae is fucking us all? Yeah, pretty sobering.
