[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm shocked by the responses on this thread. This girl was what, 17, 18 when she made this choice?  Good grief.  There are a number of ways to handle this if you even get to the point where it matters.  If she plans on being a teacher long term she was never going to be a big financial contributor to your possible future family anyway.  And she's 23--it's very possible she could pivot to a higher paying career at some point.  I do agree her attitude about it now and plan going forward matters.[/quote]

I agree on some points.  She made a poor decision and hopefully learned from this mistake.  Only the OP knows her current spending patterns- any $1000 purses in the closet?  Run.

I have an adult DC with a significant other  with 200kplus debt [grad school]but high earning potential.  Some of my friend's kids have high debt and low income based on choice of majors.  And are not steady income stream earners like an FCPS teacher.

This sort of thing really complicates the whole student loan forgiveness debate since even at 17 or 18 these people should be cognizant of the ramifications of the debt.  [/quote]
So the only way for the nation to get teachers is to give visas to foreign teachers or to hope that a handful of the population who can afford college without debt will choose teaching.

Is this really a way forward for the nation?[/quote]no wonder the teaching quality has gone way downhill[/quote]
