More or less my average loan debt at this point is about $50,000. Between my undergraduate degree and semester of graduate work. By the end of this degree achievement, I'll be in let's say $70,000???? And the average librarian only earns $43,000 a year.
At this point my average living costs are about $12,000 a year. (Not mentioning my chronic illness costs) I'm probably only getting $9,000 of that plus whatever I can earn from my photography on the side.
That's a lot of numbers.
What's the worth? Unless I'm going to become a director of a library, not much.
What's the difference of higher education verses higher education?
You're own self worth, ambitions and goals.
What do you want? What can you do? What are you happy with?
I'm a self learner and I'm always learning regardless of earning a degree. There are free classes and credits one can take at certain universities or LIBRARIES! And you can do it on your own time! Just think of the idea of homeschooling....it's a constant learning area!
I also have a chronic illness, which can be expensive. I'm always looking for ways that I can save and be worthwhile for my energy level. I know very well, that I can't handle a high-stress, high-energy environment all the time. Taking a course in life and in education that is beneficial to my health and wallet is worth it!
So here is my resignation with HIGHER education. Adios, expensive schools and hello loans. I'm going to concur you and use the resources and degree I already have to my potential!
