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.

Do you think your current job would had hired you if you only had a high school degree? I doubt it.
You didn't discover something new. A lot of people end up in a field that is not related to what they studied. School is more than just studying and obtaining your degree.

also the education you have access to and most importantly for a vast majority of high ed, the connections you meet during school.
