I questioned the logic behind going to school. If you read the first paragraph of my short post, I point out that I feel going to school with the idea that you will earn a higher salary with a degree is something that a large majority of people do and instead get themselves wrapped up in student debt that takes years to repay. Borrowing in the hopes of earning enough to repay it later is much like the thinking that got us all into this sub-prime mortgage crisis. I'm not saying people shouldn't go to school. If education is your passion, than by all means. But if you're just going and don't know why or what for, or if you think that a degree will earn you a higher salary... just look at the people who graduated with you. They're all hoping for the same thing. Besides a salary is for someone who takes what life gives them. If you want to be a millionaire, you have to go out and get it. Unless you happen to become the CEO of a fortune 500 company...Then I guess Business school really paid off. I didn’t question why people go to school. I questioned the logic behind going to school.

Just going out on the limb there. pretty sure the point of getting a degree is a higher salary. Just going out on the limb there.
