Her major was something in literature or language iirc. |
Hmm...I seem to remember this conversation
Working working, paying off the loans little by little, thats all I can do. My GF (whom I believe you are referring to above) still can't find a job anywhere, and even the connections through school to internships are generally unpaid (she is psychology major). One day both me and her will be pretty well paid, but both have to fund PhD's to get there...its definitely a challenge. Doesn't help that we go to school with a lot of rich spoiled kids either
edit: I should add that I do believe that every penny spent on my education has been 100% worth it. College helped me grow up and realize how much I love my field. 5 years ago I never would have thought I'd have a liberal arts degree, or even be headed to grad school for that matter.
