For $16k I say go for it… That’s not alot of money and can be easily paid off.
You have to spend money to make money.
College will expand your horizons greatly…just have some sort of idea what you want to do after. Alof of people change their minds during undergrad.
I’ll be honest. I’ve never met anyone without some sort of college education that has been successful financially. Statistically speaking you’re going to be earning a low wage and have a low standard of living… At least college gives you a chance go break out of that cycle.
Maybe consider working and going to community college for 2 years prior to making the plunge and going into debt. That’s another viable option.
