Is The Debt Trap Even Worth It?

Careers/Post Grad

Planning an MBA in Marketing in 3-5 years.
(Idk how many times do people ask this question)

However — the more I'm thinking about this, I'm realizing if it is truly worth it?

For context, I am an international student in Canada with a graduate diploma in Marketing. I have a low-paying job, but I am able to save tons because of the benefits it offers.

I haven't actively started looking into the degrees, but looked at the overall costs, and realized if it will even be worth it to pursue one?

For example, if I study in Canada after a $100k loan and salaried at $90k, that is still not a sufficient bracket imo. If I study from Europe, HEC for example, that is still so expensive that if I get back to Canada and get myself a 90k salary, I'm still going to be under so much debt.

I'm fully aware that I'm not in touch with much of the reality. I am just taking the best-case scenario in terms of the job.

I need some advice here.
