I just graduated 2 yrs ago (AS) and currently owe $46,000. I took loans out through the US government and started paying back approx $550 a month for the next 10 yrs. I want to persue my BSN online but cant afford to tack on more to this loan. When I hear people getting their masters degree or doctorate, I wonder how much they actually owe and how they can afford it. I live in New York area and don't qualify for financial aide, I have a home and 3 kids ( who are going to college in 2 yrs) My employer only pays $1200 a YEAR, which isn't much...
Please let me know how everyone is paying back these loans besides scholarships..
I'm now going back to WGU for my MBA - I expect that can take up to two terms, but it's still a bargain!
Fair Warning: An MBA from a school which is not AACSB accredited is not recommended. It will be fine for nursing if you do not plan on climbing the executive ladder, but useless if competing against someone from an AACSB accredited program.

I'm aware of that. I'm not planning on applying for high end jobs - it's more of a personal goal, and IF I apply for a job using my MBA it's unlikely that in upstate rural NY I'd be competing against AACSB degree holders. I'm thinking more hospital management/admin type jobs, not fortune 500. :) I've canvassed job openings out this way and most of the MBA type jobs just require the degree to 'check the box'.
