Sometimes it's good to take a step back and see the forest for the trees. I think most of us are going to be in debt to some degree (no pun intended :wink: ), but if you don't have children to support, then it's just a matter of paying off your student loans. Students that go to the pricier schools, just have to take out more loans...Instead of paying off your loans for x number of years afterwards, you pay them off for x+y number of years. If you know how to live within your means, then it's no big deal. I went to a pricey undergrad school and I made good money when I got out (and took my debt into account when I figured out my budget). As doctors, we're all going to make fairly decent money, so I don't think anyone will end up an "out-of-work" doctor...that's a rarity (so we don't have to worry about not being able to feed ourselves or being out on the streets).
Now, with that being said, if you have children to support, then it's a whole other ballgame.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />
