Next spring...

take the 20 grand and spend it on education then. It will pay off faster and allow you to have WAY more fun in the future.

I don’t care what you do now, you will make way more with an education.

While what you make now might seem like a lot, typically, the pay scale for a degreed job increases at a much faster rate than a non-degree job. Trust me, i just got an awesome raise today.
