[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 514428, member: 13254"] You've hit on a couple of things I have been thinking about for a few years now. In today's education and work environment why do so many people not take into consideration what an education will cost vs. what can be earned with that degree. I think a big part of that is that we, as a society, are not teaching our kids how to plan and look ahead at the ramifications of their decisions. When I was an early teen my Dad talked to me alot about responsible planning and thinking about what I wanted to do to earn a living for the rest of my life. I, in spite of that, made some decisions that didn't hold up in the long run but was still able to make a living. I passed along the same type of advice to my kids who are both doing what they love to do, to make a living. I worry that my kids are sharing that wisdom with their kids though. You earlier decisions are made and fulfilled in regards to your degree, I am sorry they are working out as planned. Now, you (as P-Man said) have to take the bull by the horns and make new decisions that will better benifit you. Talk to as many people as you can to help you figure out what you WANT to do. IMHO, the last thing you want to do is start a driving career at UPS or go into management with UPS if that is not what you want to be doing when you are 60 years old. [/QUOTE]
