The article talks about paying off $400K in debt in 3-7 years. Typically, debt lasts at least 10 years. The first commenter said, “I’ll pay off 200k in 20 months after finishing. I am pretty proud of that.” Don’t doctors with specialties make $300K+ per year?
A guy worked for me last year who had accumulated $150K in debt for a regional undergrad and MS in Finance. He now makes over $100K and is paying it off but he’s 29 years old. He’s making far less than a doctor. It’s a burden and seemed silly to rack up such debt having fun in undergrad but he’s making it work. Hard worker.
The ones that make me cringe are folks who rack up lots of debt at for-profit colleges.
