[QUOTE="Annie, post: 3006567, member: 42224"] When I was going to school in Tishomingo (back in the Stone Ages) a brand spanking, fresh outta school doctor set out his shingle. I ran into him at a local watering hole a month or so after he dug one of those fish hook things with multiple hooks on it out of my hand for me. (Don't ask, but there "might" have been some alcohol involved. The details are a bit fuzzy after all these years ... lol). He told me only reason he was there was because there was some kind of forgiveness program for his student loans if he stayed for a certain length of time -- which sounded like FOREVER to me at the time. I could tell he kinda felt trapped. He was a pretty decent fella. Those damned student loans are nothing but indentured servitude but if you want a SERIOUS education (like an MD or JD) it's almost impossible to do without taking on the debt if you come from a traditional middle class family. I thought very briefly about applying to law school when I realized these headaches are, most likely, gone for good -- Thank you, Dr. Smith!!! -- but when I added up what the student loan totals were gonna be at the end I realized VERY QUICKLY that I would be MUCH better off going back as an experienced case manager for a firm, than starting off with a 6-figure student loan debt, as an associate, most likely making less than the case manager. I never thought I'd see the day I'd actually think I might like WANT to go back to work. Lol Gotta get the doc to sign off on it first. We will see on the 20th at my 60-day post-op. Well, and it would be nice to be able to talk without my voice coming and going. Makes it really frustrating to try and carry on a phone conversation. [/QUOTE]
