<p>"Was my decision a good one or should I have sacrificied the 20k to give myself a better chance of admission? "</p>
<p>20k + 20k = 40k</p>
<p>What if the next two years would have been 20k each? Where, exactly, is the guarantee that you would have been able to pay that off in a reasonable amount of time?</p>
<p>Of course you made a good decision in heading to the cheaper school!</p>
<p>Now, quit whining about your “easy” classes this term at the community college, and get back to your books. Check around for something harder for next term so that you can feel more challenged. Or, go out and get a part-time job and start paying down the 20k you owe from last year so you don’t have it hanging over your head.</p>
