    Oh the regrets of Higher Education...

    Don't do it. The student-loan debt cycle is out of hand.

    Instead, just work your ass off. Hone your craft in your free time. Initiate self-projects that give you opportunity to explore new ideas, techniques, and technologies. Take as long as you want. Fail as much as you need to. Read books and articles and socialize with experts in the industry in which you are passionate about. Join a *cough*professional*cough* organization. Do what you love to do because you love to do it not because of the hollow promises of being a more marketable employee or a higher salary.
