This is a tough question, but I think that I would have taken a little less out in loans. I went to a fairly cheap university, but I still wanted to go to one that was well known. I just don't understand how college professors make so little in compensation, yet, my tuition is so unbelievably high.
That’s a great question, isn’t it? I went back to get my MBA because I thought I wanted to teach but the pay is not great!!!
I would take my loans more seriously - while I don't have a lot in loans considering I went through 8 year of school, I probably could have used them more sparingly.
I may have also chosen a different career now that I have a better understanding of the actual salary prospect.
I would of chosen the computer field. And I wouldn't have supported my lazy ex-husband on student loans
Would have appealed financial aid harder - my dad started a business my Jr year and had to stop contributing, income went to $0; I know friends that pushed really hard and got it. I'd probably have come out with $30k vs $55k.
Will be done this year, so I can't complain though
I would have paid off my loans earlier than expected and not accumulate more debt
Take less loans for sure!
I do wish I had gone into something where I could have helped more in the non-profit sector, Maybe a Masters in Public health rather than an MBA. I wish I had believed in myself more and sold myself better rather than letting others give me validation. It’s challenging enough out there without layering self-doubt and feelings of inferiority! I am telling you younger people and especially women to get your heads right mentally early in The game! I have spent my whole life doubting myself and so career wise I have not been able to accomplish the things I wanted! I did raise three amazing adults who are good people and are successful with families of their own!!!
Unfortunately, they make it easy to take them, and we all believed that adage that we will be making enough money to easily pay them back!!!!
I think I woud have went intoa different career field and probably a different major to be honest. I just think I could have done something that would have made me a lot more money .
