don’t give me the it’s never too late bs. Life happens, people have jobs, debts and rent to pay.
Going back to school when you’re employed means debt, earning way less or nothing during your bachelor or master, stress, opportunities you’re not aware of because you’re simply not at your workplace anymore, unpaid overtime during those 2 to 3 years… the money you lose is more than what the bachelor / accreditation costs.
When does it start being a stupid idea? Is it when you’re 30? 40? 50?


Honestly having the time to take those courses was why I even left my last job to take this factory job, but then COVID happened and everything got put on hold and the “omg recession” cycle started.
Unfortunately no, the shitty factory job gives nothing but some pie before thanksgiving. At least they give something I guess lol
