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.

That's different. Your getting an education. Plus my big brother is in med school and he is in debt

U will be a doctor raking in 5-6 hundred thousand a year.

You'll have a diploma, which is better than a Michael Kors purse.

If I recall correctly, the girl on the show was a spoiled little bitch whose mother worked three jobs in order to afford the same things her daughter's rich friends own. The mother didn't want her daughter to feel left out because she hangs out with all the rich kids. That backfired. The girl thought she was entitled to everything for free - as her mother always gave her whatever she wanted, no matter how much it cost. When a therapist tried to get her to see how hard it was to work by having her fold some sweaters in her favorite store, the girl threw a temper tantrum and ran out of the mall.

At least you'll be able to pay it off in the future, unlike her.

You will have a medical degree and a career?

Just remember the worst thing you can do is fail, be in debt, and have nothing to show. So just succeed and you'll be fine!
