A few months ago I met a woman who told me she had about $150,000 in student loans from law school. Obviously this concept was not new to me, but meeting someone in person who was young, underemployed, and deeply in debt still had an impact on me. Such an "investment" at student loan rates might be worth it if you get that top New York law firm job and are on the fast track to partnership, but most people who "did the right thing"
are fucked.
