If you marry and both get a job and you live on one salary and save $20,000 a year or more you will have $100,000 in 5 years. You can pay off the debt and still have money for the down payment on a house.
There are 2080/hrs in a work year 40/hrs x 52 weeks.
If your single then good luck at the coffee shop after you graduate with the liberal arts degree.
Unless you went to a college where the science degrees were hijacked by the liberal arts administration and teachers to justify their salaries and positions. At the University of Tennessee the Microbiology degree was in the Liberal Arts Department and they forced one in order to get the degree in Microbiology to take several liberal arts courses (I called them Mickey Mouse courses). I took 75 hours in microbiology and ignored the liberal arts courses. I didn't get the microbiology degree but didn't care as I got the D.V.M. At other universities I would have had majors and degrees in micro, zoology, biology, and a minor in biochemistry.
