<p>Is it worth it for me to finish at NYU-Poly?</p>
<p>I am a little embarrassed and I am at a loss as for what to do next. Here are some background. </p>
<p>I am physically disabled and I am almost 30. I worked hard and transferred into NYU-Poly as a Computer Science major. I am a Sophomore (worst case scenario) but I could have been a Junior (best case scenario). </p>
<p>I got hit with the worst case scenario because I transferred in with almost 50-60 credits but they only took in about 15 credits (give or take).</p>
<p>I had enough for an Associate’s degree at a community college but NYU-Poly gave me some scholarship and told me “now or never” so I took it.</p>
<p>I have a few years of work experience but nothing solid because of my disability. I am generally willing to take any job though but I would be extremely depressed if I didn’t make enough to support myself.</p>
<p>I had about $35,000 saved up during the times I was working. When I attended a community college it wasn’t hard to keep the money but I (foolishly) spent the money while attending NYU-Poly (transportation, food, etcetc) so now I have about $1,000 left. </p>
<p>I currently owe no credit card debt. I will owe about $40,000 in total ($10,000 from the government and $30,000 from Sallie Mae) by Fall semester. This means with interest I will owe about $60,000 if I graduated now. I will be in $100,000 debt (add $20,000 give or take in interest) by the time I graduate.</p>
<p> The numbers are all rounded up to account for worst case scenarios.</p>
<p>I’ve already registered for the Fall 14 semester. I’ll finish that but is it worth it to keep going? I’ll have about 2 years left. I am trying to take summer and winter class so I can graduate more quickly.</p>
<p>Is NYU-Poly worth the expected cost? Here is my other background.</p>
<p>I don’t know the industry well enough to say that I’ll be able to get a job without a degree but I know I have enough skills to do the job because of the internships I’ve gotten. I have been looking for a paying job but many have not responded.</p>
<p>I also don’t mind starting a business (I can find some capitals) or make a phone app (I just need an idea and I need to do some idea validation).</p>
<p>The problem is I have no idea what to do now. Keep going? Is it worth it? Am I screwed?</p>
