Re: Starting late to be an Engineer...

Um yeah, I would love to stop working and finish my education in 2 years by going full time. Smaal problem though. Last I checked, student loans do not cover my car payment or my car insurance (although they do cover my apartment and maybe food?). That and I do have a little bit of loyalty to the company I work for, especially with all of the disasters the previous management left. And my IRA is filling up rather well. Unfortunately though I am on salary so ironically on the weeks I am really busy with school I have to work like 50-60 hours, other times I only have like 20-30 hours. Grumble.

I understand that the base income of an introductory engineer is slightly higher than what I am making now and would allow me to pay off my loans quickly, but simply dropping all of my obligations (and finding the extra money not covered by loans) seems impossible.
