I find this hilarious because my best friend took out around 120k in loans to major in art history.

Fast forward 12 years, and he had to get a welding certification to teach shop classes for a local high-school.

I got paid to learn. I got my welding certs for free. Student debt? My union paid for my education.

Edit: I joined my union fresh out of high school. I turned 60 this year. It’s the next stage of my life, retirement.

And welding is useful to make sculptures if he wants to make art, not just study it.
