Yeah, I hear you!  It took my third return to school (with attendant loans)
to finally do the charm.  I think that "American Dream" only existed for a
few of the post war '50s Ozzie & Harriet years but a lot of us bought it.
One of my friends who has an advanced degree from a prestigious British
university (but not the career to go with it) is always joking with me that
we should have all taken the student loan money and bought a pizza franchise
instead!

Hang in there, Jim - you are by no means alone!
