Tell me about student loan debt - I just graduated in 2003 with my Masters. I had no idea what level of debts I would leave school with...and they haven't gone down much since then However, I AM working in my field - though applying it in a very different way than I had anticipated. I love my job, I like my work environment, and all of that is worth a great deal. The degrees made this job possible, though ask me in 20 more years if the debt level was worth it.
