    Oh -- by the time I get my Masters in December 2004, then go into a PHd program, I will be $25,000 in debt.

        Nope, I pay my own tuition. But I do live with my parents.

        My first two years were completely covered by scholarships, and I've worked every summer for very good money.

          I think he generally works two jobs

          anyways, I would also like to say that while I am in debt, I don't really think that I am much ambitious

              Nah, they're just wannabe French.
              No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                In the summer I did.

                In the schoolyear I'm down to one job (reception at the retirement home), but I'm also taking an insane courseload with five project-heavy Computer Science courses. :/

                  On the contrary.

                  For the duration of my residency (3-4 years), I will be making around $36k, which is considerably below minimum wage when one considers the hours I will be working.

                  Once I'm done with residency, I will do much better; but I will also have the burden of malpractice insurance, in addition to whatever additional costs I haven't even conceived of yet. When one considers that pediatrics is the poorest-paid specialty in medicine, it will very likely be on the order of 20-30 years, at best, before my debt is paid off.



                  When you're done with residency come to Barrow, the hospitals pay the doctors a ton. But the people treat them like poop. One of my moms friends came up here out of residency (I think, I might be wrong) and cleared his debt in a few years. I'll ask my mom more when she gets back in town and PM you details.

                      I strongly dislike the extreme individualism in the US, where property is such a be-all end-all. It makes the US terrible when it comes to public service, things as basic as a decent public transportation for those who can't afford a car, decent public housing for the very many people who can't afford a house (this includes plenty of middle class people who have to be indebted for the rest of their lives), and a decent public education that is as good as private ed.
                      Well I will be going to UTEP in the fall to study Accounting on than Pell Grant which I donot need to pay back as my Social Security income is very low.

                        I appreciate the thought, however.

                          No debt.

                          Scholarships paid for first two years, and I've paid my tuition for the rest, while my parents covered my living expenses.

                              Just tell her its an exotic location, with natives and rare delicacies. You can even tell her that Barrow has the cleanest drinking water in the entire country!!

                              Just dont tell her the natives hate outsiders, the delicacies are pungent meats and oils, and before you get used to it the drinking water seems to coat your mouth with a film.

                                1. The private universities in the US are generally better than the public ones - in the case of the more prestigious universities, MUCH better.

                                2. A lot of people DO go to public universities.


                                Well, forget it, you're in the US. Such basic services don't exist


                                Uh, yes they do.
