Re: POLL: How far in debt will you be???

farther than I'd like to be, but since I have no credit card debt, live well below my means, and will be making $65k+ when I graduate, I expect to have my loans paid off within 5 years.

When I finish my BSN program it will be in the area of $12 to $15K.
I'm not worried about it. I have zero credit card debt, my car will be paid off before I graduate...and I am only 23 so I have plenty of time to pay it off. Did I mention my hubby is an engineer? We'll be fine.

Right now @ 7500, but I still have 2 semesters to go and will probably take the max amount out for another loan. So, it'll be about 12000. However, I do have my eyes on probable employers that pay off loans!!!

I will have about 75000 for a ADN program, but I also changed majors after going for the other for fours. I am also looking and hunting for hospitals that offer loan repayment.

Lucky me I will be $0 in debt after my ADN and I plan to go on to get my BSN, after that still $0 in debt. My hubby has a good job and we are big on saving money so we can afford tuition and all the extras.

Re: POLL: How far in debt will you be???

Just graduated from diploma RN program (private school) $0 in debt, school had a program where you go to school for free if you agree to work for a hospital owned by the school upon graduating. I'm not a fan of debt, so I jumped at the chance to get a quality education for free.

$0 for my ADN thanks to grants and scholarships.

I love going the cc route. My sister is going to a 4 year university for elementary education and even with grants and scholarships, she has had to take out loans. I told her to take her gen ed classes at the cc, but she didn't want to do that. Even though my 2 yr degree is taking 4 yrs, I'll still be in much better shape after graduation. And later I can get my BSN on the hospital's dime.
