I'll get my Bachelor's degree and not owe anyone a penny for it.

Consider yourself lucky sir. I went to a private school because I had planned on becoming a pharmacist and would then be able to pay the large loans. Instead, I graduated with a much less desirable degree and am making less than half of what I would have had I become a pharmacist, and I have about 3/4's of the loans instead. Not a good trade-off. But, I learned a valuable lessen not to take things for granted and to work your ass off in school. Instead now I have to work my ass off and climb the slow ladder and pray that by 33 y/o (10 years of work) I'll make what I would have made starting as a pharmacist at 24 y/o. I really screwed myself by not taking advantage of the opportunity I had in school but o well, can't change the past, just have to look forward to the bleek future haha!
