[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$220,000 of student loan debt for an undergraduate degree in education is astonishing. How did this happen ?

Undergraduate student loans should never be in excess of one's expected first year salary. $220,000 of student loan debt for a $50,000 a year position just won't work.[/quote]

Maybe she thought teachers made more in big cities? You hear about DCPS teachers making nearly $100k. Maybe she had a different major and couldn’t hack it. I certainly had no idea about any salaries in my major other than those newspaper articles (where chemical engineers make $70k and marketing major make $60k and it all seems like a wash).

You look at these incredibly hard majors and suddenly a $50k education job, with summers off and pension doesn’t look so shabby.

It’s only by knowing actual professionals, especially professional school graduates, that you understand how salaries actually spread
