Last night Matt, Judd, and I celebrated our team’s Trivia win at the Lowertown Bulldog. We are walking back to my car when I announce my plans to drop out of law school:

Me: “I am applying to design and advertising firms. I might as well use a skill set that I actually have. The second I get hired I’m dropping out of school.”
Judd: “Uh, no.”
Matt: “Yeah, don’t do that.”
Me: “But this degree is a waste of money.”
Matt: “But you’re halfway done. You might as well finish it.”
Judd: “Yeah, you’re already in debt.”
Me: “That’s ridiculous. Just because I have student loans for a useless degree doesn’t mean I should pile on more debt!”
Matt: “You are going to be paying it back over a long time even if you drop out.”
Me: “So?”
Matt: “So if you’re going to be paying back student loans for a long time either way, why spend years paying money for a degree that you do not have? That would be ridiculous.”
Me: “Touché.”
