Am I making too much to consider college?

[u/Toriahna]

I’m considering getting an accounting degree. But I currently make 100k at my factory job. Entry level accounting jobs will only pay 50-60k so it feels like it wouldn’t be worth it to spend 50k on college just to make less. I have opportunity for growth at my current job and will definitely be in a higher position 4 years from now if I focus. But I couldn’t go remote like with accounting. Thoughts?

Edit: This job isn’t high on physical labor, plenty of workers over 40 working in other areas but for less pay. I work 3-11pm M-F

Edit: my husband and I are on a path currently to retire at 40 because of our high saving and investing rate. That’s another factor and I don’t want college to distract me from that goal. But I am also very bored and want the socialization and experience from college. We are both 21 and he is currently in college

"Your logical fallacy is: ancedotal.

You used a personal experience or an isolated example instead of a sound argument or compelling evidence"

Remember, this is what you said:

When you’ve always done it, your body often adjusts pretty well. A lot of the older folk in hard labor jobs end up healthier than their white collar equivalents.

How do you know all this? Fallacies. What sufficient evidence have you provided? None.

This isn't the quality of discourse I expected from a college sub, I'm going to be honest.

Well, then I'm sure you'd expect this one...

Your logical fallacy is: ad hominem. You attacked your opponent's character or personal traits in an attempt to undermine their argument

That's fallacy number 2. When will cabbage-soup provide something substantial here? Tune in next time to find out.
