I went to a 2 year school for IT and graduated, then planned on going to finish my bachelors while I worked full time with my associates. I have a decent amount of student loan debt but nothing crazy. Some things came up in life and I stopped finishing my bachelors but landed a job at a fortune 500 company and worked with my associates degree. I have been here for 5 years or so and worked my way up into an engineering role and make pretty decent money for being in IT, especially with a 2 year degree. This field seems to be one where they dont really care where you went to school, or what degree you have as long as you know your shit. I still havent finished my bachelors and if I knew then what I know now I wouldn't have even started the degree to eliminate most of my student loan debt.
