Was it worth it

Now that I'm almost finished with my studies, I'm starting to wonder if it really has been worth it. 5 years of my life, and where did it really take me? I'm half a decade older, but none the wiser. Perhaps. I will be paying back my loans for years and years, but did I really gain anything from this? I'm thinking no. I am still doing the same jobs as 5 years ago. The jobs I wanted to get away from. It doesn't seem that I would be getting any better job, from my own area, any time soon.
I'm probably not any happier. At the moment at least. I have less friends, and I'm more bored than ever.
So why did I do this in the first place anyway. It seemed like a good idea, I wanted to get out, break the cycle, do something else. I knew I probably wouldn't get a job, but still I was hoping. I was sick and tired of being always without money. And where am I now, I have never actually been this broke.
I'm even thinking of quitting the school to be able to pay my bills.
So this really doesn't feel like being worth it, at all.

A friend asked me some time ago, "why don't you marry me and we'll move into a tiny island?" I'm starting to think it's not such a bad idea. I might be happy there, at least happier than I'm right now here. Enjoying the simple things. I would need internet though.
