I hope that education gives her a wonderful job! With that kind of debt, that's all you can hope for. I know a lot of young people who have an education, a higher education, that cost them a lot of debt and never a job. Sometimes the field was so limited though. My nephew went into astronomy, if I said that right. LOL it's the study of the planets. He never was able to get a decent job. Then he went for his Ph.D and is teaching now. But it's kind of sad that you would get all that education and not be able to put it anywhere.After 3 years at Uni my daughter will owe £48,000 in students loans (maintenance, living costs) and tuition fees- that’s approx $65,500
90% of the people I know down here with multiple college degrees do not work in the field they received their degree in.
I think trade schools are (hopefully) making a comeback because those positions are really needed everywhere.
While college degrees are hard earned most employers look at them as showing a person is trainable. A trainable person is an asset to an employer whether it’s in their degree field or not.

I've had so many people I've known in my age range that not only owe money for college, but ended up having to work jobs that certainly do not require a degree and definitely do not pay well. Just for the sake of having a job. People are almost always surprised when I say where I live and that I don't have any room mates. People look down on my job as a waitress, I'm not getting rich but I make good money cash at that and I don't owe the government a dime.

My mom started randomly sending me some old photos, I'd never even SEEN these before but melted my heart to see Brinks so little again. NOT helping the puppy fever I've been experiencing, at all.
Oh... and I got another duck. I'm up to five now. To make a long story short I was perusing the poultry forums and this lady had a single duck she wasn't sure what to do with because the ducks friend died and her husband didn't want to get anymore. Turns out she lives an hour away from me and I'm a Good Samaritan. Now "Nibbles" has joined the flock.
Sunny and Easy checking her out from the outside.
And a pic just to show how nice it was yesterday. Today's just as good!

Oh, that's so nice!!! It's so sad when a companion dies. I'm sure Nibbles will be happy with the rest of your flock!
Does he have a darker beak than the other two??

She is a sassy duck! There ain't nothing shy about her lol I have her in the pen with the babies (they're as big as she is but that's what we call them still) but I think she'd be alright going out on her own. I just want her to know where "home" is before I let her loose, literally lol

Oh and yes she does have a dark beak, the original two are Pekins which are super large ducks they're always white or cream colored with bright orange bills and feet. Nibbles is a white layer duck hybrid of some sort, she's a bit smaller and has the black beak but her previous owners told me she is an excellent layer. I already have more eggs than I know what to do with! Honestly the dogs eat more of them than anyone lol

I do feel lucky to live where I do. I'm a half hour from the closest store but my commutes are always on traffic free country roads... can't beat the views. So all of the ducks have free reign now, everyone seems happy! I'm especially excited for the babies as they've never been out before so everything is new to them and they are having so much fun.
Rumor knows frogs aren't allowed. Doesn't stop her. When we came in last night I thought there was something in her mouth. I told her out, she did. Dropped a frog right on my bare foot. And here I thought she had a rock....
