[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I graduated from a college that absolutely no one who frequents DCUM would send their kids to; a $10k/year tuition directional state school that I both commuted to & graduated early from (“rushed through”). Majored in computer science & minored in math. Graduated in the past 4 years.

I have no student loan debt though![/quote]

the world is awash with people who think their good fortune is based on their amazing decision-making skills and not their privilege(s), of which you have multiple.

Most student loan debt is from professional grad degrees.

People who finish dental, medical, law, MBA, even physicians assistant, pharmacy, nurse practitioner, dietician, SLP degrees generally go to lead very comfortable lives long-term. Of course, taking out loans for such degrees involves risk, just like any other investment.

Some prospective students look at that investment and balk at the possible risks. That’s fine. That means those people with just an undergrad degree will have less debt. It also means they have lower long-term earning potential than someone who does have a graduate degree. Trade-offs. Life is full of them.[/quote]
