7. Was my degree worth it? I went to LSUS for 2 years and did not work. It cost me $35,000 per year (tuition and living). When I graduated I will make $80,000 per year.

If I did not get my school, I would make $40,000 a year. I would not have been out-of-pocket any money.

Regardless, of my decision, I expect to earn 2% increase in salary every year. Inflation will be around 3%. I am currently 30 and I want to retire at age 65.
