Will have around $200K Praziquantel Send a noteboard - 29/04/2012 01:54:24 AM
Just wondering, my last 2 hires are great young professionals and both are saddled with over $100K in debt.....and one just got her BS (the other has a BS and MBA). This is crazy. So, a few questions for the RAFO crew:

1. How much debt did you accumulate while in college (or are tracking to accumulate for you current students)?

Got through college mostly on scholarships and money I earned from investing in my spare time, so no loans from that. Will have about $200K by the time I graduate medical school, though. And that's as an instate student, paying off as much of my bill as I can w/ investment money, etc.
2. What are your loan terms? How long and how much per month?

No clue!
3. What was your major/area of study?

Medicine/surgery.
4. If you had a chance to do everything again (school, major, debt amount), would you? What would you have changed, if anything?

Ummmm... I don't think so *shrug* The debt amount really sucks but it's not going to influence what I plan to go into, and I really like medicine, so, yes I would do it all again.
