When To Go Back To School
By Ocean on Jul 11, 2008 in Featured, Letters/Contributions, Money Saving
It’s the summer now and school should be the last thing on most peoples’ minds, but since not many jobs are being found, many readers might be wondering if they should be further educating themselves, and if so, how?
Along these lines, we have re-posted an earlier article, featuring Ababon’s Was it Worth it Program, which will solve all your problems, today! (Ok ok, so perhaps not all your problems. In any case, you should still give it a chance. You can find a link to the original post, along with its discussion, here).
If anyone is wondering whether to go for that Master’s degree, MBA, CPA, CFA, etc. you’ve probably put quite a bit of thought into it. You might be making a passable salary now, but you know you could be making a much more attractive one with a few more letters added to your name. On the other hand, these letters cost money, time not earning any money, and/or the foregone salary itself. So will it really be worth it?
Even if you are already taking courses or attending graduate school, should you simply be springing for the job that pays the most once you’re done? Will you be able to afford that slightly lower paying job that’s located in your favorite neighborhood and always seems filled with smiling people? How do you decide which job you can afford? You’ve just spent all that money and time on those letters; how do you know if this job will be worth it? Here is an easy method for figuring all of this out - concocted and developed by Anthony Ababon. Just open it, fill out the part in Yellow, and it will tell you whether or not your decision will pay off within the next 10 years and/or the next 20 years. We could ask him to give us more years’ worth of results, but let’s see if there is any demand for it first. Also, if you would like to ask Anthony any questions, you can do so by leaving a comment below.
Enjoy!
Ababon’s “Was It Worth It?” Program
Did we help you save money? If so, how about donating some of it to DumbAgent?











The program tells me that it was worth it. Now I can feel better about the fact a huge chunk of my monthly salary’s going into helping me pay it off.
