488 Pointsshould i return to school?
so i was attending full sail university for my bachelors in web development but when i got to my senior i couldn't afford the tuition to finish! A lot has happened since then. for example i've started a family and have gotten married. Unfortunately I'm also trying to pay back my student loans and it bothers me knowing that i'm paying so much, and have nothing to show for it. I'm not sure if i should go back to school and try to rely on grants and scholarships to get my degree or if i should just get my certificates and find work from there as a web developer.

As a married man, with 1 kid, I understand the commitment that 1 year at Uni is, but in saying that if it was me and I was paying the student loan regardless...... I would like to have the degree.
Better talk to the Mr's before you make any decisions though!
