[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Student loan payments on federal loans are income based, so you needn’t worry so much about the debt. [/b]Obviously consider your overall financial burden and whether you’ve got kids to support and for how long. But if it fits your situation, then why not? This is your one life. There are plenty of worse ways to spend your time and money than pursuing intellectual growth. I’m 52 and I’d go back to school for a PhD in a heartbeat if I could afford to. I lament that I pursued a JD instead of a PhD way back when. I’m guessing your question might be more about what the dynamic is DC area PhD programs for older students? I haven’t experienced it myself, but I would venture a guess that especially in the DC area there are plenty of midlife folks taking graduate level courses at the various universities. [/quote] Stupidest statement ever. Cleary written by someone who has never had to pay back a student loan.[/quote]
