It took 10 years, three ex's, two countries, and living with my mother for a bit, but I finally paid it all off.

Ask me how I feel. The guy who took my final payment on the phone was happier than I was

Was your education worth it? Did it pay itself off?

Well if they only took 10 years to pay it off I assume theyre doing better than most

Hard to say, AI is kind of making the whole purpose of the education I had redundant.

On the other hand, I feel smart enough to call it out on its bullshit, so maybe that's a skill in itself?

I've got high school friends who never went to uni, and are now heads of finance in various minor banks, and they seem to be doing pretty well in comparison.

But Banking has Looney tunes level of value, so I try not to let that drag me down.
