Hi, this question keeps circling in my head, all the jobs I like I am either already qualified for or I will be after my hnd, anyway I have found one degree (just one) that I like the sound of, I can either do it while working part time and pay it myself or do it full time ... my worries are the average job I would get from this degree is what I do now, just a better chance of getting them I guess, the salary about 23 000 a year, so would pay back student loans straight away but I'm worried, by the time I finish my loans will equal 40 000 or more and I just hate that I didn't even want to take the student loan this year and next but it's the only way we can live I'm torn on what to do and really not sure what to do for the best.
What sounds like the best plan?
- go full time and just deal with the student loan debt
- get a full time job after hnd and save to do the degree at night without taking a loan at all.
- just see how i do without the degree in work, if it's fine don't bother, if it isn't then can always go back.
I'm thinking about what's best, I mean the degree isn't mandatory for the jobs I want but I know education is important and because my OH doesn't want to do a degree I think one of us should have one if that makes sense? So our future kids can see it's fine either way but education give more security. I'm trying to think about what will let us have kids sooner too, i'm just a bit confused, student loans terrify my and i feel so bad about taking one this year but if we didn't we couldn't live.
Insight anyone?
