I have been wanting to start a thread for some time now

But couldn't really think of a topic. It's REALLY slow at work right now.


Thanks for listening.

Howd you tackle student loans after med school?

 

[hoosierdoc]

Wasn't a tackle so much as a pile on and slow it down until it eventually tires out and falls over

Honestly though... I deferred them through residency and then started with a 10% loan first, then just started on the big ones. I consolidated two different times, but for whatever reason sallie mae would not let me pay on one alone, I had to split payment across both loans. Annoying.

Best advice is to do whatever you can to minimize loans and don't ignore them. They just plain suck. Still paying on my wife's.

You believe people should be entitled to "free" university?

In your business that's a good thing, right? It could be way worse...you could work at one of those places downtown and the Circus could be in town...

It was implied you have/had a steep amount of student loan debt. Do you think university should have been "free" for you and others?

 

[hoosierdoc]

happy birthday.

thanks!

People are always joking about selling a kidney to buy something. Isn't the smarter thing to do is sell part of your liver ( since it will grow back) or is there just not a big enough market for livers?

Your first post seemed to suggest that's what I believe rather than asking my opinion on it, thanks for clarifying.

No, it should not be free.

Only employees at the biggest county safety net hospital in the state would get that reference...

I love really slow days at work.

Sorry for implying it, wasn't the intent. Well if this gentlemen went to med school and isn't demanding free college, why the hell are others.

Hah, makes you wonder doesn't it. I feel bad for those that pile on student loans for undergrad, then professional school and don't graduate. Just get annihilated with $250k in debt that you can't bankrupt at bad interest rates and no job to knock it out.
