what would be the degree you could finish the quickest with the greatest return on investment?

Bar, could you fix the typos in my title?

Don't you have 70k in debt and believe that college is a scam? Why would you go back to school then?

You're also making 48k/year, you want to just let it go in this economy?

MBA has a great ROI. And 3/4 MBA students work while getting their degree.

Physicians Assistant

26 months of school to become a PA. Starting average salary is about $87K.

If you don't have the science pre-reqs, you may need a few classes at a community college before applying.

What else am I going to do? I am unable to find another job. I hate what I am doing with a passion. I have been doing this same shit and working overnights for 6 years. It has come to the point where it is affecting me physically and mentally. I can't it anymore....period.

It is a scam unless you are going to be a doctor, lawyer, engineer...etc or something that is pretty much guaranteed a good ROI.

You have no idea what you're talking about and if you think it's a scam then just keep working where you're working. If you want to advance then go to school and if you want to earn a paycheck then don't go to school. It's really that simple.

I'm neither a doctor a lawyer or an engineer but school has paid big time dividends.

You need to look up the definition of a scam. You look like a total
idiot when you keep making statements like the above.

You couldn't even interview for my job without a degree and I am not a lawyer, dr. or engineer.

This one of the dumber statements ever uttered.

When they dont educate high school seniors on the cost of going to college and how much they will likely make when they graduate with the degrees that they want to obtain its a scam. They tell them they COULD do this and COULD do that but in all liklihood obtaining some of these positions are impossible because most of these jobs are scarce or you have to "know" someone to get an in.

They THROW MONEY at these student while at the same time telling them that they will not find a good job without a college education.

These colleges dont care they are getting the tuition money. They dont EDUCATE students and high school seniors as to what they will be fully facing when they graduate.

How much money do you make? Do you like your job? Does your job pertain to the degree that you obtained?
