I have a BA in English/Political Science from way back and then went back to college in my late forties to get a BS in Occupational Therapy.  Now days, get a Master's as soon as possible and get it in the right career choice.  Do some research! By the way, lucky you to be debt free and a big congratulations!!

I went to college at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, MA, then went on to earn a Masters and a PhD at Boston University. Those years were some of the most fun years of my whole life.

yes I did.  Didn't do me a bit of good as I didn't get a job in the field that I studied.   Good experience but I wouldn't waste that money again. 

That's awesome that you managed to be debt free leaving college.

i graduated many years ago with social work degree and went on to get my Masters in Early childhood ed.
Things have really changed since then! :rainbow: :peace: :wave:

Congrats.  Yes I went to college and also graduated debt free.  I never took out any loans I was able to get grants and scholarships in addition to summer jobs and my parents contributions.  But this was in the 90's when student debt wasn't out of control like it is now.

I got my BA in Philosophy on December 2012 at FAU.

I think college is a waste of time and money but, that's just me. I never went to college and my life turned out fine :)
