Student Loan Debt Hell: 21 Statistics That Will Make You Think Twice About Going To College
I am so sorry for your loss and I’m glad that the debt was forgiven.
“People always complain about how much docs make, but by the time we actually become debt-free, other people have been in their careers for close to 20 years. “
I hear you; docs have my total sympathy.
I think maybe those interested in medicine should go outside of our country to get their degree?
Anyway, I don’t complain about the salary of doctors. I think it is the hardest degree and one of the most difficult jobs a person can have, and if people think they are overpaid, why don’t they go to med school and become one I wonder?
I say that about anyone who complains about somebody being “overpaid.” For example they complain prison guards are over paid. Well, then, why don’t they become a prison guard? Obvious reasons.
NO, nobody do that! I make less as a lawyer than I did teaching public school. I am LUCKY to be employed as a lawyer. I am better off than most of my ex-classmates. Things are much worse now than when I graduated, too. Only go to law school if you get a free ride. (Or, if you can go to Harvard.)
