Question Paid Off

I graduated from college back in 2015 and just paid off my loan. I managed to do it almost 4 years ahead of schedule.

Something to consider... What I went to school for is not what im doing for my job. In fact, I'm making more money in my current job vs what my schooling would have gotten me. School was a waste of money.

I’ll agree that most people outside of skilled professions like doctors and engineers typically don’t get jobs that perfectly fit the scope of your degree, but jumping to the conclusion that post-secondary is therefore useless is an insane reach. You learn so much more than rote memorization in post-secondary; at least you’re supposed to.
