Lol calling NC solid red, lol talking poo poo about pizza. If you think Proper Pizza is fast food you probably eat dominioes or drink crazy bread straight out of Pappa Schnatter's twisted dick. Pizza is art, pizza is life.

Koyaanisgoatse posted:Maybe they both went to med school? That's the only thing I can think of You can do that with veterinary school too - University of Pennsylvania, Ross, Western (in California) can see students with debt just from vet school in the 300k+ range - the 4 year cost of attendance of those three schools is 343k, 333k, and 307k respectively. In fact, of the 35 veterinary schools in the US, Caribbean, and Canada that are common to US veterinary students, 14 of them cost 300k+ for four years, and that total isn't accounting for accrued interest. And then you get out and make 70k a year. Unless you're a horse vet, then you make like 40k.

my bony fealty posted:gently caress off Mercer, history will remember you as a piece of fascist-enabling poo poo. Too late for boo-hoo-how-could-this-happen crap. I talked to two British finance professors, who presented a reasonably convincing (though pretty tenuously supported empirically speaking imo) argument, that Mercers biggest, most productive, money-making 'venture/investment'-fund has an astoundingly effective algorithm for predicting tiny market fluctuations, and makes serious bank on that. In essence this algorithm and fund makes more money, the more volatile/unstable markets are. This means that it is literally his econmic interest to have volatility in markets (the more the better) and it's a very short bond-villainesque step to go from just making money of it, to begin creating that volatility yourself. As for example in supporting things like the orange rear end in a top hat for president, or brexit, or spur on various fringe extremist movements, work against civil rights, etc.

eyebeem posted:My wife and I combined have over $650,000 in student loan debt. This is absolutely cheaper. People seem astounded by this much debt but it doesn't sound that insane to me for two people. If your family's earnings are in a certain range you can both make too much to qualify for decent financial aid and be utterly screwed by the loans you end up getting. A person going to an expensive college could easily rack up $200,000 in debt, especially if they have to spend a little longer in school because of a changed major or something. I assume the rest could be from grad school debt (but I don't know poo poo about grad school). I mean a sometimes effective solution to this is to look closely at all your college options to try to do all you can to minimize your debt burden even if it means going to a college you don't want etc. but for undergrad at least most people are making these college admissions decisions when they're only 17 and the lure of getting into a prestigious or famous school can be pretty strong. Plus kids can sometimes be pressured pretty strongly by parents and teachers to go to the big name schools as well.

Unless you specialize. Fiancee just passed her written boards and started final year of her radiology residency. She knows people who make $300k+ doing telerad 4 days a week. Which is good to hear because she's sitting on a pretty fat loan debt herself, something still well north of $100,000. e: After paying a lot of it off with large gift from her parents or an inheritance from a grandparent or something.

If your family's earnings are in a certain range you can both make too much to qualify for decent financial aid and be utterly screwed by the loans you end up getting. If you do not qualify for sufficient financial aid to make an expensive school affordable, you should not go to the expensive school, rather than take on debt that you are very likely to only discharge in death.

My fiancé has over $200K in debt from 4 years in private (non state) university and another 4 years of grad school. Granted she gets paid decent money but it’s still half her paycheck in loans every month, and she’s one of the lucky ones. Student Loan debt is only going to become a bigger issue as our generation gets older and more politically involved. It’s just Republicans don’t give a single gently caress because their base are all 50+ whites people.

Listening to Paul Ryan and company tout this extra $1200 a year to taxpayers through tax cuts like its life changing. An extra $100 a month. An extra $3 a day. Can someone point out how ridiculously small that is? It's nothing and if that is truly life changing then we have serious problems in the US. And supposedly the cuts are somehow going to raise wages. How? Why cannot corporations and business pay more instead of the gov inflating pay checks through paltry tax cuts? Like was incentive is there for businesses to pay employees more if the government is just going to cut worker's taxes?

It's great, I'll be able to afford 4 extra espresso shots in my coffee, which I'll need more and more because we'll all be working 16 hour days until we drop dead The latter: it's a smokescreen, there is no incentive to pay workers more and wages will continue to decline in terms of real value while the wealthy hoard more money (which their children will be able to receive, tax-free, when the estate tax is gone!)

ReidRansom posted:Unless you specialize. Fiancee just passed her written boards and started final year of her radiology residency. She knows people who make $300k+ doing telerad 4 days a week. Oh yeah, rads is insane - telerad and ultrasound are two extremely lucrative areas.... where else could you buy a $30k piece of equipment, charge $400 per usage, and having each usage of the machine take you 45 minutes (scan + report time). Basically if you want to make enough money to pay off your students loans (if you're average or higher) without using Public Service Loan Forgiveness (which might be getting the ax...) or REPAYE (or other income based repayment) you need to find a great clinical to own and be able to run effectively (which nobody teaches you in vet school), or you need to specialize. But not all specialties earn fantastic money either! It's also why several veterinary schools are having issues keeping radiology faculty - they simply cannot pay anywhere near what they could make in private practice.
