I pursued higher education. I don't come from money and I'm wasn't smart enough to get scholarships but I stupidly thought I would earn enough to pay off the student loans.
It was like a train wreck in slow motion. Each year I saw my debt accumulating and my job prospects growing dimmer. But how do you just stop halfway through? Then you've got to make the payments and you can't get the job anyway. It was like an inevitable horror show of shit. Guidance counselors and the like should really be honest about salaries and the cost of higher education.
Now I work in a job I hate for very little money, most of which goes to pay back the loans and other debt that I racked up.
