<p>I plan on doing UG And PG from US universities.
I was wondering that as i will take a loan of 30k $ (for UG) how can i pursue PG .Field of study
Business at both PG and UG level .My parents will NOT help me PG level.
on top of that i am an international student .
So is this feasible ? What would you recommend in this situation ?Is this possible ?What
should be my graduation debt(highest limit) after I finish PG (ie MBA).
PS- I will mange to get into top 50 at UG level.</p>
<p>Debt is relevant to future income…$50,000 to a MD might not be the same as it would be to a school teacher. There are web sites where you can see the estimated averages of four year undergraduate debt at different colleges. Some schools have begun to cap the undergraduate debt to help their graduates to afford a graduate program.It is hard for anyone to suggest to a stranger what an undergraduate debt should be. I would not want to graduate from a major university or premier college with debts equal to more than half of the starting annual salary I think I would get upon graduation. For many professions that would be about $20,000, which is a lot. How to reduce loans? Scholarships, jobs and frugal living.</p>
<p>My children are trying to keep their debt low and have taken two different routes. My son has gathered as many credits from a community college as possible, where course credits are cheaper. He works twenty hours a week. My daughter works two part time jobs while taking full course loads at her university. They make good use of free activities on campus, they buy clothes on sale, they don’t own cars, and work during their spring breaks, summer and whenever they have a chance. They also chose schools that were easy to get to, so transportation is not a big cost. </p>
<p>Both are expecting to get their big college loans for graduate and professional school. Good luck.</p>
<p>business? complete UG. Work for 3 years. Apply to MBA program. If you get accepted to top 5 program, ok to borrow whatever you need to attend. Maybe see if your employer will pay for PG program. It happens.</p>
<p>completely agree with NJres, work, see what you truly want to do, then try and get employer to pay for some or all of oit. also, you may get more grants or loans as a single independent person.</p>
<p>Most big MBA programs like to see you work at least a couple of years before getting your MBA. You can use that time to get some $$ together for PG studies.</p>
