That is the $57,500 (plus 6% interest) question, now isn't it? What next? In 6 weeks I will have completed four years of college and have obtained a Bachelor's of Science with an emphasis in Accounting. Yes, I will have a piece of paper stating I have mastered BS. The best part is, I will be paying through the nose for it. Ugh.
I have no idea what to do now. Most people would go look for a new job. Maybe I should. But, there in lies the problem. I have a job. I have a job that I usually (sometimes....for the most part...at least occasionally) like. The flaw, of course, is that part of the point of college was to ensure that I would be able to support my family. Well, I just tacked another bazillion dollars of debt onto us. Therefore, I have to do something, now don't I?
Here's where it gets really hairy though. I have to factor in all of the benefits of my current job. I won't share them all here - that's my business. I can assure you, I have made multiple pros and cons lists. The damn shame is, I still don't have an answer.
*sigh* Aren't things suppose to be easier once you have a degree?

Maybe just get a feeling for what's out there and look around a bit. It's definitely really hard leaving a job you already like, but there are new things to like too so I'd say go for it! And if nothing really catches your eye, you already have a job now so no harm no foul :)
