Auto loans are terrible and I always pay them off as soon as I can, but they will never really be that big a threat because you CAN sell your car and buy a substantially cheaper one, in most cases. Sometimes you can sell your car and just use public transit or bike/walk.
I quit the career my major gave me after 7 years and now I’m doing something totally different… I won’t say I regret it because my old industry is how I got the new industry connections to make them change but yeah… I’m using none of what I learned.
Be careful about turning your hobbies into careers, kids! You just might start associating it with work stress and stop doing it entirely
Opposite for me. My degree is editing/motion graphics but my first job killed that passion pretty hard. Now I’ve got “engineer” in my title but I wish I went to school for mechanical engineering

Boy do I wish I could sell my college degree
I wish they would repo my degree…
Imagine being able to trade in your college degree for a newer model

Same. I use almost nothing that I learned. Engineering if you are curious.

When I was a kid auto loans would be for 2 years or 4 years maybe, now. They’ll give you a 10-year loan on a car.
Used cars literally cost more now than the 3/2 townhome I bought in 2012. I don’t understand how most people survive in this economy.
