Hi,
I recently expressed my concerns to my family about student debt and how I was preparing myself to give up my dream schools (when/if I do get in) for ones that will be less of a financial burden for me later in life. My family reached out to me (sister & dad who are both doctors) and they said they’d be willing to split and pay my whole tuition price as an investment in my career and that I should be free to choose whatever school I wanted and not hold myself back because of price. They said all they want in return is for me to put their investment to good use and make something of myself.
Should I accept this? Or is this too much? I know it’s a blessing but I hate handouts and I feel like it’ll be something that’s being held over my head and brought up over and over again in arguments like “I paid x y z for you!!”. What if I fail out? Is the debt as bad as people say it is or is it manageable? Or should I accept it knowing it might make me feel guilty?
