Thanks Sik.... You'd think having a masters degree would actually get me some decent paying jobs... well not so much. Even if i went back for my PhD, it would only increase my debts.
I'm weighing my options as we speak and plan on seeing a financial counselor to see what I can do.
I'm just frustrated because i've done everything right up to this point in my life, i played by the rules and kept myself out of debt. I never owned any credit cards, i paid for everything i cash... if i didnt have the money, i didnt need it... even my cars i paid in cash. Now, in my current job, i contribute to society in a meaningful way and i get paid squat. I try to be a good person, live my life to help people, better the world only to get F'd in the end. My car is the only thing that i really enjoy and spend money on... the rest i could care less about.
I'm really considering taking a job outside my field just to make good money. I was offered a machinist job at double my current salary, but i passed on it because i wanted to help society and not feel like a drain to it... Ugh, i'm just so damn frustrated.
