    I've got 140,000 in loans. However, since I work in mental health in a high risk community, I pay based on my income (which is paltry at the moment) and in 10 years if I stay in a non profit, whatever I haven't paid off gets forgiven. I can still work on the side in private practice. Cash/check payments only please.
    EDIT: Oh and my debt could have been far more. However I worked to pay most of my living expenses.

    Fixing my brain would require you invent new power tools and write your own supernatural incantations.

    I'm in the same boat. Works out to about 650 a month. It's a real kick in the ass.

    Dipshit...I was 22 when I started law school. Hardly a teenager.

    About £11,000 GBP here. Not bad given that UK students next year could spend 90% of that in one year's tutition. And i thought I was unlucky at the time in not getting a grant!
