Do you think your opinion will change at all as time goes by and you’re left with a large debt to pay off, and a degree that you know will likely not have any impact on your earning potential? It’s great that you’re satisfying your intellectual needs. But a lot of people in your exact position eventually end up wanting other people to foot the bill.
Thank you for question! And no, I don't think so. I think the important thing here to note is that studying philosophy―particularly phenomenology, existentialism, and theology―feels all-encompassing true and real compared to that of anything else, at least for me personally, at the moment. And anyways, as I noted on another comment on this thread: I don't mind what happens. I don't mind working a blue collar job to repay my loans or in order to make a living. Even despite stemming from a first-gen, low-income household and sometimes having this strong, finger-aching yearning to take care of my parents financially, I don't mind what happens because things, I hold, work out in their own imperfect perfection. Again, as naive as this all may sound.
