| D-D' | The water district wants my full attention now as I am at the bottom of the ladder and I already have the basic education to work my way through the first few rungs. If going to school, then that side needs my full attention in order to give me the full benefit of growth and learning | There are plenty of examples of people being able to balance going to school and working full time. Both may not need full attention and both can be done and done well at the same time. |
| B-D | Solely focusing on school is way easier instead of potentially dealing with a family, job, and school at the same time. | Some people have said that having experience in a field could make a class easier instead of trying to just read a few paragraphs out of a textbook. |
| C-D' | Avoiding as many student loans as possible can set me up for a better future now as well as in the future. | Student loans may never be factored in. Every student is different and there are a plethora of ways to mitigate debt via student loans. |
| A-B | Education is very important. Taking care of education early on can mitigate risks that may prevent me from moving up or I may run into things later on preventing my return to university. | Just because i go to school now, doesn't mean that I may not have to go back to school later on to get more certifications later on as the industry changes. |
| A-C | Financial stress can be a burden. Student loans are less forgiving by the day and some will never know the alleviation of that stress. | I may not have to take out student loans. I can take advantage of things like scholarships, grants, KEES, or even the metro college program with UPS. |
