I started at a "small liberal arts school," but had to leave early. I then started an IT career while living at home and somehow had the good sense to pay off the loans from my aborted college career. Then degree requirements started to kick in on IT positions, so I went to night school to finish my B.S. Because I could only handle one class per semester on top of full time IT work, my degree inadvertently ended up being pay-as-you-go. I graduated a bit exhausted, but debt free. Younger friends who did their four year degrees in the same time frame essentially pay an extra rent payment each month. It's crushing them.
