i just finished my degree but two months ago and i can tell you that its a better option than jail for damn sure. and i can also tell you that considering that my family has a pretty low household income and shit for assets coming off of a bankruptcy a few years back that you can get your shit paid for, take loans and live decent there too.
my man is a clerk for a district court judge in LA, he says "take the loans, the higher up you go the more likely you'll be able to pay them back"
education isnt much of an indicator for future income compared to already being rich but its not bad and better than jail time
And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
