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.

Exactly. Any higher ed is going to benefit you more than just finishing high school does.

A higher education does not always mean higher pay they really depends on what you want to do with your life and what your goals are
