[[Yes, even those who have clear paths and actually KNOW what they want to do with the rest of their life. There comes a point where... extreme stress caused by school and everything else make you want to drop the HELL out.]]
But to most of us, that's just a thought and we would never willingly let that become a reality. I've spoken to many friends who are on the same educational journey as I am we all seem to agree on this. Of course, no one expected it to be easy, but damn. Maybe it's because we put SO much money into this for 4, 5, 6 years and we are virtually blind as to whether we will actually ever get to profit as much as we expect form it.
A lot of people went to college, but clearly, everyone didn't get a job that had anything to do with their degree. Some people end up with rather crappy jobs and $100,00 in (Big Scary) loans to pay back.
**Even** with the abundance of success stories I hear that even out this frightening reality, it's pretty hard to forget about. It's just that you work so hard and put so much time and money into school and you can come out either way better than you would have without it or way WORSE off. But we'll never know until the end sooooo. yeah. That pretty much SUCKS.
