I hope you're a neurosurgeon.

Corrected for accuracy

Luckily, I had a scholarship, then for my grad my mother paid. So no loans.

I'll be in touch with you too.......

if you have debt thats under 25k, i say get another job and pay it off and never again in ur life allow anyone talk u into getting into debt again especially for educational reasons. i dont care what anyone says, u folks in debt for damn near $100,000 lost big fuccking time. no one's telling u this but i will. u lost big time. but i cant blame u. no one warned u. if a student is gonna get into debt over $100,000, the starting salary better be a million. but of course that aint the case for yall.

8k now, 2 years left so it probably double

There is nothing theoretical about Statistics and Econometrics

Most 4 year degrees in econ don't go into much depth in either one of those, which is why I said you are somewhat forced into grad school. And as far as job hunting goes, an undergrad econometrics class aint shyt. Econ has the most value in how it helps you approach problem solving and decision making, but its hard for employers to see definitive examples of how that can help you do a job from your classes alone.

$55K...
this is with the academic scholarship, grants, being listed as an independent student and only 1 semester of room/board.
To make matters worse one loan was private with myrichuncle, now bankrupt, and I can't find out who bought the loan so I could already be in default.

60k

Made 75k last year
made 65k this year
If I get a second full time job im looking at around 130k

if I get a second job ill pay it off in a year

I'll probably get on one of the 25 year repayment plans....

 

[old soul]

only $6k. Loans paid for study abroad and misc expenses, had a full ride through college. I've been fortunate and managed to put myself in a good position as a youngin.

 

[newarkhiphop]

Right around $40,000 here which I hope to pay off in 3-5 year, starts in July

 

[The Coochie Assassin]

Too much....but I plan to be rich by 30 so I aint trippin

I will not let loans force me into a dead end job cause I have bills right now...that's how the man traps u in the system my brother

. U see they tell u that you need college to make a decent living, so u take out these student loans during your late teens, early-mid 20s. Then by the time u have that degree and decent paying job, they tell u that u need to buy a house and a luxury vehicle so u take out a mortgage that traps u even more Soon u realize u don't own these material possessions, in actuality these possessions own you You also realize working for the man will never really amount in any real wealth but it is too late to quit your job with a family and debt to pay You have been bamboozled like most and you will begin to lie to yourself about how it's okay cause everyone has debt and how that's the way life is and how blessed u are to even have the opportunity to live in the USA and have this lifestyle although u really don't have the time to actually enjoy the things u buy.

If you got a second job, got a room mate and lived like a damn bum you'd have them paid off in 6-7 months.

IN the UK it works as a 5% tax on whatever you earn. Mine is down to 20k which is about 33k in dollars.

 

[Orbital-Fetus]

24k.

 

[VBM]

Got 25K left (57.5 was the original loan amount for law school). Got married, bought a house and new car, so those expenses have kept me from throwing more money at paying off the loan. Hope to have it paid off in 2017...










...and then focus on the wife's student loans
