At my current pay it'll take close to 10 years to pay off my college debt. The only hope I have to shorten that period is to produce more value (I'm trying my best), or get lucky with a startup (I'm in a good market). I know I took the long investment, and I'm fine with that. I'm confident in my skills and my drive, but I couldn't imagine being in a different market. My concern lies in the arts and humanities. They are very important, but will suffer immensely.
