I studied chemistry and landed a good job right away. But I wish people would not have told me, "Don't worry about the loan amount, you'll earn it all back after you graduate!" DO WORRY about the loan amount. There ARE cheaper college options. It doesn't matter how much money you'll make "someday", your future self would much rather have $10K in debt than $100K. Here I am, a 17-year-old kid who doesn't know any better being sold on an expensive private college. There are so many things I would do differently if I could.
