The acquisition of knowledge in any form is an admirable approach to life but it should not be at the expense of others.
I spent very little on my accounting education at a city college. Destroyed the cpa exams and got a job with pwc for a few years to build my resume. Paid every dime of it out of my pocket while working full time. Even if I accumulated debt in would easily be able to pay it off based on where I am currently.
