    "it seems like I could end up in a better lifestyle if I don't go back to school" - that may seem so in the short-term, but believe me in the long-term you will make MUCH more money with a degree. i'm generalizing and lots of people make lots of money without one, but you better your chances tremendously by having one.

    when the whole dot-com thing went bust a few years ago i was able to get all sorts of jobs outside my field because of my education. without it, i would've been bagging groceries.

    • I agree with what your saying, but he already has an opportunity set up.designbot
    • what about in 10 years? when things get tougher? as i said, it's a long-term mindset.sputnik2
    • Once you have experience in design...it doesn't matter. Nobody would take a degree over quality design.designbot
    • sorry, I am just super anti-debt :)
      School is def good if you can pay cash.
