Catch 22's

As I was thinking the other day, I realized there are some situations that you can't really win...

1. Going to school & getting student loans
Okay, you go to college to get a good job and make good money. BUT going to college requires getting student loans and then you have that bill to pay when you graduate.

So, my question is, would it be cheaper to skip college and get a regular job without the greatest pay so you don't have student loan payments? Probably not, but I wonder...


2. Teaching & getting a second job
One reason we decided Devin would be a teacher, besides the fact that he loves it, is the great schedule teachers have. You know, Monday-Friday, 7:00-3:30, with all holidays and summer off. But, because the pay is so little, Devin has started working a second job after school. So now he doesn't get home until 7:30 two nights during the week and he works a few hours on Saturdays. That's not exactly how we planned it...
