A Sanders Voter, Weary of Debt at 29: 'I Have Nothing to Lose'

80. I met no difference in what BS degree

for medical school for example (this is why I think a BSN and a BS Biology for example is a waste of time especially if you are nurse - get the BSN). You are right about a BSN needed to access most more competitive jobs and advance academically in the nursing ranks DNP etc.

Sounds like your son is doing great as well. I wonder if my daughter will eventually move to a larger area. She is making pretty good money and living at home right now saving most of it (except for buying the reliable car to get her to work). The Iowa Nurse Practitioner program is rigorous and expensive.

The 529 is a great. I used it to fully fund both my daughters' college education. Given my tax rate in Iowa, it was an immediate 9% return (my marginal rate in Iowa). The college education is really the only expensive thing I ever bought them. It allowed both to get working two plus years prior to their peers.
