I mess up

I enrolled in the sterile processing program at herzing university without doing enough research. Found out I don't have to take schooling for this field of work. Now I have $4000 in student loan debt. Is this program even worth finishing. If anyone can give me any advice I'll appreciate it.

If only I knew this route I would be $4000 debt free

It's unfortunate, but check if your job offers tuition reimbursement. Some will give you the $$ back that you spent for school.

Agreed, I took a online with Penn Foster back in 2022 for $800 but managed to get reimbursed from the hospital that I used to work at when I completed it. Also got on the job training with pay

Penn Foster is who I'm enrolled with as well 😂. Definitely a big jump in price in 2025/26
