Through a series of bad decisions I attended a 4 year state school and racked up $15k in debt in 2 years before dropping out. I then when to my local CC and got an associates degree in medical technology.
I currently make a hair under $45k/yr gross and there's very little room for career growth from where I am. I very aggressively paid of my student loan debt and am currently debt free.
I can get my bachelor's degree through a special program that allows me to continue working full time while I study, but the total cost is over $30k and would almost certainly be out of pocket because FAFSA wont give me any money at my current income level. I'd most likely pay as I went and took out loans where I have to.
I could expect to reasonably make $55k/yr starting up to $70k/yr (where I think this profession tops out) after a few years with a bachelor's degree. Does that make any sense to do? I figure I'm getting AT LEAST a $10k/yr pay bump and could pay the debt off in 2 years.
