Forgive student debt now!

By DebtedToSociety - 07/06/2009 17:54 - United States

Today, I was watching a TV show about people with shopping addictions. One girl was $15,000 in debt and I thought how horrible it would be to live with that. Then I realized that I'm in medical school and currently $135,000 in debt. At least they have something to show for their debt. FML

At least you will have a good career once you are done with school!

"At least they have something to show for their debt"? What does that mean? In a few years you'll have a respectable career. A pile of shiny things won't help you earn money the same way a medical degree can.

You'll have something to show when you're making $800,000 a year and all these others have are their worn-out clothes.

Wow. You'd rather have a bunch of clothes and things instead of being able to save lives? Very shallow of you, dont you think?

I agree with 182. You think they have something to show for it? Yes, they do. Terrible credit and incredibly low self-esteem.

um, they have nothing to show, actually. They're superficial and can't keep their finances straight, or live within their means. You, on the other hand, do have something to show. You're pursuing a career that will eventually pay off your debt. Plus, being a doctor or studying to be one is contributing to society in ways worth more than whatever your debt is. I find it extremely dumb and sad that you think you're doing worse off than those people on TV. Also, if you can't value your future career or current education properly, then maybe you shouldn't be in med school.

hahaha you were watching true life, weren't you? anyway, you'll get paid off in the long run. my mom is a doctor and had a lot of debt due to medical school, and we're now an upper middle class family.

You're an idiot -- I hope you never are my doctor. Those assholes threw away money they don't have on useless shit, and you've invested in a career that will make you lots of money (and you might accidentally help people, even save a life or two) and gain you lots of respect. If you can't see the difference, you need to borrow another $10,000 to take a course called "Getting You Head Out of Your Ass."

The difference with you is that you are actually getting something out of all that money spent, and as long as you're a good doctor it will be easy to pay off... eventually... The people who are shopaholics are people that are just trying to fill a void in their lives with tangible objects. You're ahead of the game.

You, on the other hand, will have MORE to show for it when you graduate and become a doctor. Quit ******* whining, you made the choice to go to med school.
