My sister had gotten enough in student grants/loans to be able to live on her own through college and beyond. However, in the end, she had super high loans to repay.
I hope you will look into this and will give it all thought!
It sounds like it excites you, which is important!

Nah, I'm fine financially. I paid off my $120k loans within 2 years of graduating. I had made some money during grad school (research stipends) and grad school was free, so I basically made a profit on grad school. That gave me a step up.
If anything, I'd ask for my workplace to pay for the courses. I know they offer financial coverage for certain types of courses, so long you get a C or higher. But they basically say that you'll only get like 50% coverage for a C, 75% for a B, and 100% for an A. That's how they encourage you to perform well in courses they're paying for, and I think that's perfectly fair from their perspective. No sense in paying for a course if someone doesn't care IMO.
In other news, my work wants to promote me to the senior level. Hmm... I still kinda want to change jobs, but I may stick things out a bit if I get that promotion because then it's easier for me to seek jobs. After all, I'll have to start from scratch again and have to work my way up to a promotion. But if promotions are happening soon (I think they happen in July...?), then I might as well stick it out IMO.
