School debt

Published

Hi everyone - I just graduated from nursing school (a BSN program) and have a huge amount of debt to repay. I am wondering...what, on average, is everyone else looking at for student loans?

Good Debt is the one that increase in value, i will agree with some of the poster that education have real value specially nursing degree or any medical degree and second is your Place of stay ...your Home. :)

$16,000 in student loans, and I can't even begin to estimate what I've put on credit cards for cost of living items when short on cash. I plan on picking up extra shifts and working a lot the first year to get it down.

i get scared everytime i think of the debt im accruing (sp). im just gonna pray that it works out ok. my brother and his wife have 100,000 between them in college debt. im way way way below that figure but my brother's first job offer was for approx. 80,000 and shes doing pretty well herself. so its not like they cant afford it...my broke butt is looking at approximately $25000 in school loans, and prob wont make a cent over 35,000 when i finish. this post just depressed me. someone, quick, tell me im doing the right thing going for my bsn.
