51k in student loans with a BA in international affairs no job, should I add 10k and get a Engineering Associates Degree in Automation?
I got a kind of liberal arts Bachelors and I owe 51k and can't find a decent job to save my life. I'm contemplating on going to the local community college and getting degree in Stem specifically in Automation and Robotics since I live in a manufacturing hub Louisville KY area we have GE, Ford etc etc so there are plenty of opportunities. I see tons of positions paying 20-25 per hour while only requiring a 2yr Engineering related Degree. Cost of living in KY is cheap so 20-25 per hour 44k starting off
is good money, a nice luxury style
2BR Aparment is 780 and a basic nice 2BR Apartment is 650-720
1BR Decent Apartment 580-600
Things are very cheap.
DO NOT add another 10k in debt. But DO get the STEM degree. Live cheap, work and go to school at the same time.
51k in debt for a liberal arts education? Oy vey.
It is one way to earn a living; go for it

Not surprising you don't have a job. What skills does that give you that an employer wants? You didn't need that to work in fast food.

If you have looked into it and this will get you a job at the $ amounts you are taking, it's a better deal than you've already spent $51k on.
You need ANY job and start paying off your debt as it will not go away on its own, so no you should not borrow more or you will be spending your whole life working to pay off your increased debts
- Sporty and somewhat unique sedan under 10k? I'm trying to find a used sedan of any make or model that is sporty and preferably can have a manual transmission. It also needs to be somewhat reliable, and easy to work on. I would also be like for this vehicle to be 2005 and up, and under 10,000 dollars. I have looked into some Volvo's, Subaru's, and Audi's. I'm open to anything from a Ford to a Saab, I would really like it to stand out as well!
- Should Sears and Ford HIRE Dotard McTiny as their CEO and get profitable again! If he can get Foreign Diplomats and American Lobbyists to? Pay $350.00/night to sleep in a tiny room in an old Post Office and keep it FULL and VERY PROFITABLE, don't you think that he could come up with an idea to save 40+ thousand American jobs?
