[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of you people herping and derping about “personal responsibility” are totally missing the point. Let me spell it out for you, MED SCHOOL AND COLLEGE SHOULD NOT COST THAT MUCH, EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Yes, even if the student intends to work as a plastic surgeon in Hollywood. It is terrible for the economy, society, and the field of medicine. No one benefits except student loan companies, med school administrators, and the politicians who take their lobbying money to keep the status quo.[/quote]

Well it costs what it costs. If you can't afford or take on debt for it it or an ivy undergrad or b school or law school or whatever, don't go. It's like any other investment -- you have to put your investment to use wherever there will be the greatest ROI. Don't see what's so terrible about this. I did it back in the day and went down the Wharton undergrad + law road. I had friends who went down the med school road. As long as you make smart decisions (including your exact schooling, jobs you pursue after, for medicine - specialties), you will pay off the debt and come out way ahead of Joe Schmoe who went to Rutgers for his psychology BA and couldn't hack it in sales.[/quote]

I have an unimpressive bachelor’s degree from a state school and seem to be doing just as well as some of my peers who went to “designer” law or graduate schools, and I have no student loan debt. Maybe not typical, but I feel like I came out ahead because I didn’t try to play the game. [/quote]

Except check the college forums and everyone insists Ivy is the only path to success. They’d be wrong. [/quote]
