[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. Just as an example, there is a serious shortage of vets. My DD is a junior in college and has been taking a pre-vet curriculum and has done well academically. She worked at a vet’s office in high school and it is all she has ever wanted to do, but after a ton of research and discussions with practicing vets, she is pivoting to considering other paths because the debt to income ratio is terrifying. We saved and were able to put her through college without borrowing any money, and are not low income enough that she could qualify for any kind of need based grants, but we can’t help her further because we have to ensure our retirement savings are secure. I’m sad for her of course, but the societal impacts of this playing out across a lot of professions are profound. [/quote]

My son did vet school in the UK.  I think it cost considerably less than a US uni.  Maybe your daughter could look into seeing how many credits from her US uni will transfer to a vet programme in the UK.  My son’s programme was five years, but if your daughter can transfer in some credits, maybe she can shave off a few years and end up qualifying for less money than she would in the US.

We did buy him a car because for a time he was expected to visit farms in various places in the countryside, but even with that it was less expensive than US uni, I think.[/quote]
