5 to 7 years Dear. Read my ACTUAL posts. And in my country (and I suspect, yours), high schoolers go directly to a degree in Medicine. You should know this. ANU runs a post grad course, but off hand that's the only major public university which doesn't take Medicine undergrads.
I don't know what 'everyone should do'. All I can do is repeat the formula (for achieving such things when you're not born into money). It's a choice.
Just being Mr Obvious or what? It's still a **** ton of post tax dollars to pay off in addition to all of their regular living expenses.
PF rule VIOLATION disqualifies you from any further MEANINGFUL interaction on this topic as far as I am concerned.
Probably "cranked" it out of her nether regions judging by the absence of any merit worthy substance!
Because it is a business and the costs are the same for providing it regardless of the wealth of the patient. The better question is why is health care so expensive for everyone?
There are no living expenses, when you stay at home. And those dollars are worth every cent (times 100) when that degree qualifies you for a lifetime of stable and well paid employment.
You mean a patently logical and reasonable observation. You ARE stupid if you impose upon yourself the outrageous expense and waste of money that rent is, ON TOP OF YOUR STUDENT DEBT, before you've even started to earn a solid salary.
I'm interested in the fact of it being made the taxpayer's problem. If a graduate makes poor choices such as those described (moving out and renting while indebted), they have deliberately made themselves a potential burden on the taxpayer. Worse, they've done so purely to satisfy an urge for the Arts, or whatever useless degree has left them unable to repay loans. Vanity, at the expense of working families who pay their way.
Only those who have UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS of how people actually go about becoming medical professionals believe that load of bovine excrement. Unless there is a medical facility willing and able to HIRE the new graduates within commuting distance of the homes of their parents it is nothing short of LUDICROUS to PRETEND that it is feasible.
There is where I live (ie, not America), therefore my advice stands. Stay home and pay down that debt. Don't move out until you can afford to buy, so you never waste a cent paying off someone else's mortgage (via rent).
Thank you for establishing that all you have to contribute is an ANECDOTE that has nothing whatsoever to do with REALITY.
The question really isn't how easily a doc takes care of their debt, but rather how much the leechers think they deserve out of the doc's efforts. These leeching scum think they deserve a cut out of anyone who does better than them.
