$50,000 isn't much... if you can actually pay it off.
But I figure if your schooling only cost $50k, you're not living in an area where that kinda money falls from the sky.

Education? It's all about the Benjamins.
I'm old and just finished my undegrad. Before attending grad school, I'm going to ask myself: "Can I pay for this? And if so, do I really need it to make more money?" People go to grad school to make money, right? Whether it's on their way to a PhD or filling in the necessary career development blocks at work for a promotion. If you wanna do education for the sake of education, you're far better going to a community college and taking a Western Civilization history class from an excitable professor that listens to death metal and says that history is basically about "people crushing other people!"
As stated above, you can't just rub fancy pieces of paper on your life and expect it to make you happy. You have to do something you like.

You could also join the Army National Guard (or even go active) and use that time to sort out your life.
It really fixed my wagon as far as getting my head on straight. Also paid 100% of my tuition, rent, and books.
