I [23F] have decided to apply to get my Masters. I am concerned about the financial planning of it all. I know that FAFSA doesn’t give too many scholarships for Grad school students. I have heard so many horror stories of people being stuck in student loan debt and that is NOT what I want for myself. Not to mention I’ve been reading in this subreddit that a Masters degree is essentially useless in the realm of psychology. So I’m worried even if I get a job immediately I still won’t make enough to live comfortably AND pay off student loans debt.

I would appreciate if anyone has any real world experience and realistic words of encouragement or advice!
