[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend’s son graduated college at 22 with an undergrad degree, paid off all student loan debt by 23 with his 6 figure starting salary, then bought a house at 25 making 200k by then. He’s 30 now and makes around low 300’s in software engineering and has locked in a low interest rate on his house and benefitted from the past 5 years of appreciation.

My kid went to law school and is making less money, along with over 100k in student debt and now will have a much harder time getting on the property ladder since he waited to start his career. Seems like tech can’t be beat for how much you earn at a young age which gives you another 5-10 years to invest money early and get on the housing ladder. I guess big law can make 7 figures but most people won’t ever make that, and tech has similar or even better upside. [/quote]

Wait—are you saying that your kid picked law school because he wanted to earn big money and that was the sole reason? Or is it possible that he likes being a lawyer? [/quote]
