$25k/year is much better off than having no income or education!
pretty much!!! what other options are available in supporting yourself if you were not born well off? depend on government assistance or perhaps, marriage?
how long were you two dating prior to getting married, did you know this info before hand? if she does not work, who is paying for the wedding?
this is the first time I ever heard that earning a degree is a poor decision!
don't be that guy!!!
Getting a degree in and of itself is a good decision, however one must research the utility of the degree and it's usefulness with respect to supporting oneself. If you get a degree in a useless subject and don't have any other marketable trade or skill, then you just put yourself into deep debt with no realistic way to pay it off.
All I'm saying is that I wish people would tell kids to get a degree that can make a living with, not a liberal arts or psychology degree that is just a useless pile of debt (unless of course they actually have a plan to earn a living using the liberal arts or psychology degree, which seems rather difficult compared to say a BBA, engineering, biology, etc).
The other option if you're not born well off is to learn a trade or get a degree in a subject that's actually marketable, none of the "just follow your heart BS advice".
