New Nope, not that rich. :P
All told, between the two of us, we're looking at ~$100k in student loans.

I've probably peaked my lifetime earning value, at around $50k/year, unless I make the jump to management or I somehow transform into a shithot programmer. Odds of that are fairly minimal.

Susan is making top of her field right now - about $28k/year.

Guess who's degree cost much more?
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

New It could be worse
She could have a degree in childhood development. Appropriate for a childcare worker. People in that job love it, but the pay, well, as a society we don't realize that there is more to the job than just babysitting...

Cheers,
Ben

PS You haven't peaked your lifetime earning potential yet. Take a look at [link|http://www.infoworld.com/article/04/06/11/24FEcompsurv_1.html?s=feature|http://www.infoworld..._1.html?s=feature] and see some of the options for moving up. Also if you did the same job in this city, you'd get paid more. (Life would cost more as well - so it probably isn't a win.) As for Susan, while social services tops out, her skills could also segue into alternate careers. For instance a school counselor probably makes somewhat more.
To deny the indirect purchaser, who in this case is the ultimate purchaser, the right to seek relief from unlawful conduct, would essentially remove the word consumer from the Consumer Protection Act
