Got most the way through an environmental science degree, then learned the job market was mostly helping oil companies dodge regulations.
Father got cancer so I had to return and help out, asked the bursars what can I get with the credits I’d accumulated, took a “university studies” bachelor.
Returned to school online in 22’ for a degree in software. About half way through the degree the layoffs started. Cut my losses and dropped out.
~43k usd debt for both programs as of now after paying some down over the last 8ish years.
I enjoyed being exposed to new ideas, information, ways of thinking etc. probably could have found those things without the price tag.
