I have my 4 year degree in biology, but it's worth nothing as far as good paying jobs go. I made about 17/hr during college as a respiratory therapist, which I was trained to do in 9 months by the army reserves. I know people who graduated with me and went to work for 10-11/hr in various labs. The whole time I was in I had planed for more school, but all the same it's kind of crappy when you already make way more with 9 months of training then you can for 4 years of school. No debt for me but I signed alot of time to the army for that. Alot of these tech schools are rip offs, try your local CC, they may have the same training for much less, that way you won't be a slave to the creditors.
