Well of course, that would be a great experience to have. Just wanted to make sure you knew there were options. I think so many people see their future as daunting if they can't get a job with a company.
For those with the white man's slave chains of student loans...whats yours looking like???

Oh, yeah. Totally. That's why I'm not sweating the job market like that. It's on my mind, but I'm not going to let it deter me like I did last time. I've been wanting to go to law school for like a year, but I pussed out. Not anymore. Matter of fact, I take the LSAT on Saturday.

Word. My personal mantra has been "Before 25 you're judged on potential. After 25, you're judged on results." I just turned 26 in December.
Appreciate it, breh breh.Good luck, (future) counselor
Grad plus, tbh idk what the limit is. I knew cats who were in dental school longer than me and still got approved
Oh ok cool I hope I don't have to go to loans...I'm on fellowship right now so I hope I finish in time because out of state tuition at Illinois is fukking ridiculous

Are you not coming back to the US? I think they can take anything of yours in the US even like things willed to you or you left here.

College is a scam. No one will realize it until the bubble burst and these frauds that run these schools be exposed.
Lol It's a scam but it is a good experience I wouldn't say automatically pass on.
If you didn't go to just get drunk you can learn a lot about yourself and develop spiritually, emotionally, mentally. Yea, you could develop for free if you are someone who is actively trying to grow but the majority of people who aren't on some specific journey need college as a vehicle to those new experiences.

im about 80k in debt 
i've been considering leaving the country not due to loans but for job opportunities. i don't knock anyone who's 100k and over in debt leaving the country but the thing is people don't think about the culture of another country and how to adjust. thats the big problem about moving abroad in general.
there's 1 loan i really care about paying thought and it's 6k which my grandma co signed with me. it took me 6 years to get my bachelors due financial problems, and it still haven't gotten the job in the field i majored in. shyt it's even hard to get another internship since i've graduated.

Because if you happen to get a job, it will be in the financial sector and you are likely to get paid. That's a given. And I've seen plenty of lists where it's been the other way around (with finance/accounting over econ, or econ not listed at all), so gtfoh with that "always" shyt. They flip flop all the time.
The main point I was trying to make was that the economics degree looks great, but does not mean you will fall into $$$. Just about all companies have the need for employees who can do accounting or finance and HR depts can clearly see how what you learned can be applied to their business.
Its more tricky with an econ degree because it says that you have some financial concepts down, but its not as easy to see how you put them in action. I'm talking from an employment standpoint, not about earning potential.
You have to get the job to actually make the money, and I think there is more of a market overall for finance/accounting than econ grads. Either way though, you gotta NETWORK

Only to visit family/friends...other than that, I'd be living abroad...I don't have anything willed, and nor would I be leaving behind anything behind substantial....
