Neither have that much debt. I guess they chose wisely.

Speech pathology isn't a terrible job, google says it $ 75,000ish, but a quarter million dollar student loan debt for a $ 75k/year job? That's $ 25k a year in loan payments? I suppose if you live super frugally for ten years, rent, drive old cars etc, it's possible.

Meh. Depends. Home Health is where the money is at....if you can stomach old people with dementia and the possibility of bug infested houses.


 



Being a Nurse will probably pay more with less money towards a degree, and more jobs.




A masters degree to be a Nurse Practitioner is an easy $100k job.

It depends on where you get you degree too. I'm a Physical Therapist, similar education with a little bit higher average salary. I was accepted into several doctoral programs and chose based on cost. I came out of PT school with about $50k in loans which is pretty low for this field. Some of my colleagues went to more expensive private schools and racked up a quarter million in debt.

I was able to pay mine off in 3 years. Some of them will be paying until they retire.

Yep, my college fed us that "Oh, everyone gets jobs in their field of study" crap. And I would say 25% of the people I went to school with work and are successful and the rest either are struggling to get by in their field, changed career paths all together, or are bartenders.

My wife's $55k student loans for her SLP degree is $352 a month consolidated for 25 years. Interest rate is 6.5% I think.





If she didn't consolidate it, it would be over $600 a month for 10 years (I think).












10 years would be nice, but the $600 a month would be a bitch right now.












She's only making ~$43k on part time. Depends. She gets paid hourly. $35 an hour. Each session is 1 hour. If a kid doesn't show up, she doesn't "work", and thus, doesn't get paid $35 for that hour. Hoping she can go full time once she is cleared for the other insurance companies her employer sees. Would DEFINITELY help with the VA Home loan process (Because they don't consider part-time salary, and thus, will only see my salary + both of our debt).

My wife is a Speech Language Pathologist.  Not even close to that expensive for her degree and she makes well over 6 figures a year only working 4 days a week (all in her office, no home health stuff).  If you get special certifications which allow you to bill multiple codes per session the money is quite good.

This is simple.  A college education is an investment.  Would you pay 500K for a double wide trailer?  No, because that would be a poor investment...I don't care how cute or quaint it is...it will never be worth that much money.  A financial analysis should be run before a student loan is issued based on earning potential and academic history of the student.  Straight "A" student that wants to be a doctor...how much do you need?  "C" student that wants to major in women's studies...we'll give you 1K a year.

Definitely a hard science/engineering thing, and not only should you expect tuition to be free, you should be getting a stipend and university housing. Everyone else has to pay.
