@@tvuser5557 There is a huge cliff, you are taking it as a math problem. This is a people problem. There are alot of single parents that quit studying and yet she will have the debt. There are alot of people that quit studying period. IF EVERYTHING GOES PERFECT you are correct. But that's the thing with debt, debt is guaranteed, finishing studies is not. As DR says, he has met people over 30 years that quit college for all kinds of reasons. If she takes a loan and quit it's a huge set back. If she takes a loan and stop working while studying, it's a huge pressure on her boyfriend (by the way, I think he is being used heavily) If she takes a loan and finishes but wants to become a stay home mom, there is huge pressure on her boyfriend or worse her parents. If she saves first or pays as she goes, all of these bad outcomes go away. Don't go into debt, DR is 100% correct, life happens and debt never cares for what happens to your life.

One function is that it protects a person who sacrifices professional development to raise children, maintain property, etc. In this case they're both doing things that they wouldn't have been doing if they couldn't depend on each other. The bf is making a tremendous sacrifice to give her a safety net while she stops work to improve their future, but she can just walk out on him afterwards with no consequences. There are also important things like inheritance, visitation rights, etc. Imagine your SO of 20 years dying in the hospital and not being able to visit them.

[@ashermitchell2794]

Exactly. Immediately after Dave says “I’m not going to tell any nurse anesthetist student to take out loans,” I would looooove for him to elaborate on how he expects those students to save up $300k for the degree. It makes no sense. Is it a little risky? Yes, but professionals have the lowest rate of default on student loans of any group, and she would be able to pay that off in 2-3 years (like Dave admitted), whereas saving up $300k on a nurse’s salary would be much much longer. Dave’s advice doesn’t really paint a workable picture for professional degree programs.

You also have to think if people weren’t taking out debt colleges would be forced to lower tuition to keep their enrollment up. Supply and demand works for college to.

[@Kayraine]

College is so expensive because we can get loans for it. The government backs/creates theses loans, so even if the cost of tuition doubled overnight, we would still be able to get loans. If people stopped going into massive amounts of debt and went back to paying cash for class, the cost would decrease because either way, they'd need bodies to fill those seats. Supply and demand. Tuition will continue to increase because we will continue to pay at these prices. Oddly, it's the trades that have much better ratios. My plumber charged us almost $200 for a quick 30 min fix. If he even went to a trade school at all, he didn't pay tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars for it. He also has a very secure job.

I just want to know how long it would have taken to save 300k. Not everyone wants to wait a decade before attending school. She should have just paid off the debt when she graduated and not called Dave.

[@lucasday7330]

Dave if no one took loans for medical professions we wouldn’t have doctors or nurses.

[@heels4lifx]

Dave is too ignorant to realize that. He paid for his kids college but scolds others for trying to make it on their own.

[@princesskaitlinhazelwood4703]

That is a crazy amount to borrow. She could just go to medical school for that money.

Nurse anesthetists make the same and sometimes more than doctors.

I really don't like how she wasn't forth coming initially. She wants help but doesn't give all the info. I Don't trust her. There's more to this story that she isn't saying.

Only aspiring doctors or those that have a 250k salary potential should consider this level of student debt.

She is a med student essentially.

Student loan is one of the dangerous loans ever. It doesn’t go away, not even if you file bankruptcy. It took me 6 whole years to pay off mines and I’m glad I did.

[@ceceliamendez9907]

Yeah I watched a CRNA Rhianna Ferial on KZbin explain how she was able to pay for school from the beginning of nursing to crna school. Her husband is financial advisor as well and flips houses... so you don't have to go into debt to get your dream job. She also did travel nursing as a critical care nurse and took the highest paying contracts. Just saying.

[@NeoAndersonReloaded]

He getting used.

[@zachwalters8001]

I do agree with Dave on the risk of debt especially in these situations . But, he does need to come up with another plan for his professional degree callers. Because unless you have family money it’s very hard and limited to pay 100% out of pocket including living expenses as you will not be working much if at all. And I never heard this call before. But, what would he tell someone to do who is already halfway through the program and needed to take out student loans to finish? Dave has good advice but always tip toes around these calls with no realistic answers for DMD, MD/DO, PharmD, ARNP, etc…I know he always suggest to go work for a historial/clinic for them to pay for your school. But, that’s is unrealistic. Very few and far in between. No one is going to pay for that.

[@butch4butch]

Exactly. Dave doesn’t understand professional degrees.

[@MrLegendra]

100% agreed we’d have almost no doctors if it was done Dave’s way
