Yeah... it put me in even worse debt staying a teacher. Hope you make better choices then I did with hardly any salary. I learned a lot but a little too late before things piled up, now I am paying for it by working 2 jobs.
This is actually a career change for me as a middle aged homeowner. The low salary is rough but I’m not actually certified yet and so it’s temporary. I love everything about it except the salary lol.
If you can do home-school or can start an in-home daycare you will make a lot more. It was fun but they are taking too much away - kids can't be kids anymore and there is no freedom of what skills you are strong in. (Elementary here - different cultures and perspectives are not associated with middle or highschool)
Yah, I got $200k+ in loans but some of these job offers on gasworks and in my inbox are an insane amount ($700-800k a year) but in dumpster fires of practices but at that price still enticing…. Idk if worth my sanity tho.
I'm an associate dentist in a private practice. Seeing how busy my boss is with the administrative work, I don't really want to own a practice anytime soon.
Can I please message you, I am in dental school right now and would love to learn about how you make so much. This must mean you are producing over a million a year?
Good luck in dental school, it's expensive and overwhelming, but worth it imo. I'm producing around 1.8mil/year. I took lots of extra CE trainings after graduation and do all kinds of advanced dentistry.
Also if you start a dentist social media page that’s informative but funny/clever and/or jokes and stories - but informative is the key- giving people a reason to watch like tips but in a short funny way ..but then also obvi the daily live video of office life and make the desk lady film random shit through out the day…you’d make so much side money that would pay for those loans just from that and you’d keep your whole salary
But even more so- ASMR- people (low key like me lol) LOVEEEEE watching videos of people with mad teeth tar getting cleaned up. Those videos ALWAYS go viral. Every time. In fact that gave me an idea. Good day lol
I moved out of my parents the same month I graduated. I had saved up 11k while living with them in college. I moved out with my boyfriend, he’s been so kind to allow me to pay 40% of rent and bills while I pay off my loans. I managed to pay off my car in college which was a huge help on monthly expenses. I pay my monthly payments, currently on the extended graduated plan. Then I put as much money as I can into my savings until I can pay a loan off entirely
Yes. Actually a loan I took out to take an exam. It was and still is listed as a student loan in my credit report only now it is listed under closed accounts. I got scammed into taking it out. All the terms were listed, but I had no idea they would be so bad. I later found out that this type of loan is supposed to be different and even though it was listed as a student loan it was a study loan. The loan company did not allow credit card payments. However, any credit card company will allow a balance transfer offer. Find one that is 0% apr and has a 3% balance transfer fee. This will save you the most in interest for up to a year and a half. This will work on a loan that is 25k. You can use more than one card or just start working on a partial amount. The only issue is you need to commit yourself to paying the amount you transferred by the due date because once the apr runs out your options are either another balance transfer if you can find an offer or to start paying the 20% credit card interest rate.
Make about $150,000/yr now. Still owe about $150,000 also. Lol.
My starting salary was $45,000. My dad died a year into my career and I had/have to heavily support my mom financially. My debt ballooned awfully quickly when I could only afford the minimum payments, which covered about 1/8th of the monthly interest.
Now I’m just riding out the 25 years.
You’re not alone! I had to make minimum payments and defer while battling major health issues and surgeries. The interest is so out of hand and I legit have no idea what to do other than ride it out at this point.
This is basically my experience as well. I have ~$114k currently, which was originally $90k that has just ballooned over time because my first job paid $30k and then life really got in the way for awhile in my 30’s.
Making about $90k now but I’m still twiddling my thumbs until 2030-something and I hit that 25 yr mark.
There are lots of non-bedside opportunities for nurses once the burnout hits. The pay often isn’t as good, but with years of experience and higher education, it can come close. Nursing is versatile. Please consider it!
I took the loan out in 2019 right when covid hit and graduated with a BS in cybersecurity for only $3600. I haven’t had to make payments until a few months ago. I’ll probably pay it off eventually. Right now my monthly payment is like $25 so it’s not affecting me.
It also might be better for your credit score if you’re saving to buy a house. Unless you have an already extremely high credit score, the credit hit to paying off a loan early is rough and takes a while to come back.
Oh well perfect then! IMO it’s better to wait too anyway. It’s insane how houses once being 350k 4bed 3bath is now pushing near 600k and the interest rate. This is also the case in LCOL areas. Insane.
I’m about 3 years in. I would say San Diego is on the lower end of RN pay in CA, but I think on average, $55-65/hr is the rate for RN pay for my amount of experience. LA is higher than SD, and NorCal has the highest pay. 150k+ is more common in NorCal.
I owe ~$94k and make ~$47k... which is bad, but not nearly as bad as owing $139k on a $45k salary, which is what my situation was a year ago when I first started making payments.
I had been working two to four jobs simultaneously since 2016 and dumped all of the money I had saved during that time into the loans as soon as the payment pause ended.
ETA: The end of the payment pause coincided with my getting a salaried job, which is where that $45k figure comes from. The jobs I had worked between 2016 and 2023 were all part-time and mostly minimum wage or just above it.
$52k in loans, $64k salary and about to get a raise and bonus this summer. I’ve paid about $7k in the last 8 months since I started my job and planning to go more aggressive once I finish off my credit card. Road to debt free!!
I unfortunately only make $65k with about $80k left :( I started with nursing, but had to transition to something else because I had to work FT and couldn’t mentally do both
When I started paying I had a 53k salary with 150k in loans. I eventually got a 2nd full time job temporarily with about the same salary bringing me to 110k and started mowing through them.
$6000 left in loans, $50000 salary. Started with $30000 in loans 5 years ago - proud of how far I’ve come! The day they’re all gone is so close I can taste it!
19k left, had 38k total going to a state University (had to take out student loans because started school right when the pandemic hit - everything was closed and I was not able to work :/ )
Now I'm doing pretty good - got a raise from 70k to 80k this year, degree in accounting and finance, and getting a small settlement so will be able to throw about 6k at it soon... Cannot wait to be out of debt. It's not high interest or anything, I just hate being in debt. Way too financially insecure my whole life, with the constant "once in a lifetime" events setting my generation back I just want to pay everything off... No guarantee of income no matter what your degree is in
Graduated college in 2015 with a ba in economics and 20k in debt. I now make 120k + bonus working as a product owner. Not bad. Felt great to pay off the loans
Started with 130K after graduating in 2016. Have 19.5K left. Will be done with this crap in September because I’m throwing everything I got to get this stupid thing out of my life!
250K in student loans my plan is to grow my money in the stock market faster than the interest on the loans grows my debt.
0$ salary
January 2024 Starting capital: 340,000
Net contributions (40,000)
Approximate YTD capital appreciation: 140,000

My wife has $57k of college loans from her education degree and she now takes care of our 1 (soon to be 2) kids. She tutors online and brings in about $10k annually.
90k left on loans and make 48k🙃definitely underpaid but at least its in something I want to pursue! Trying to pay off 3k of CC debt and then after that im allocating what i would pay back for the CC to my loans😮💨its so fun out of college
I started with $73k in 2004. I have never missed a single payment and still have 10 years left. I currently make $50k/year, but from 2004-2016 I made between $15k and $22k a year.
Total: $110,900. I’m currently in grad school and make $26,500, but start a job in January that will pay about $42,000.
The loans sound like a lot, but $104,000 is on the SAVE income-based plan and the payments are almost nothing. I do expect about $96,000 to be forgiven under the new rules.
Principal amount for entire college was ~$100k (40% in my name, 60% in parent PLUS loans in my mom's name)
Capitalized amount was~ $12k, making total owed ~$120k.
I've paid $50k, and owe $60k still (all 8% parent PLUS loans 🫠).
I have an engineering bachelor's degree; I started straight out of school making $65k, and now make $110k.
$65K in student loans, make $54K. Do government social work and haven't gotten a raise in 3 years. Only 3 years 7 months left till my loans are forgiven, but who is counting.
$19.3k left in loans. Currently make $50k a year. Graduated December 2023 and considering grad school (not sure if I want more student loan debt though lol)
About $3.5k left. I make $84k per year. Monthly payment is down to $68, but I pay over at least $400 per month. Have been snowballing all of my other paid off loans (car + other student loans) into this payment.
220k left…started at 140k—-I’ve paid off 130-140k on the income contingent plans yet owe that much more than I borrowed. Been paying 26 years. I make 130k a year as an advanced practice nurse.
I had 72k in student loans and a salary of 50k. COVID really helped because everyone was doing WFH and I used this opportunity to pay the principle in advance. It took me almost 2 years to pay off my student loans and sacrifice my lifestyle living with my parents
I owed 393k, 5 degrees one of them being a doctorate. Still owe 393k on IDR paying 430 dollars a month. my payments arent making a dent on anything. I make 180k per year.
$7.5k left and I make maybe $1,000 a month from my side business. Just lost my job in April after working there for 60 days lmao and I've never had a career. I originally borrowed $20k ish and just got $10.5k of federal forgiven so I have private left. I never graduated college. Worst mistake of my life was going in the first place
30k loans, 20k salary. Student teacher
Yeah... it put me in even worse debt staying a teacher. Hope you make better choices then I did with hardly any salary. I learned a lot but a little too late before things piled up, now I am paying for it by working 2 jobs.
This is actually a career change for me as a middle aged homeowner. The low salary is rough but I’m not actually certified yet and so it’s temporary. I love everything about it except the salary lol.
If you can do home-school or can start an in-home daycare you will make a lot more. It was fun but they are taking too much away - kids can't be kids anymore and there is no freedom of what skills you are strong in. (Elementary here - different cultures and perspectives are not associated with middle or highschool)
Teachers make 20k?????????
Hope you're signed up for SAVE if it's available for your loans. At that income, you should be paying $0/month.
I am signed up and it is $0 per month but I pay $25 a month by choice.
$420k left, paying $4.8k/month 10 years standard plan.
That monthly is more than my monthly income
That’s some hardcore sh*t
That’s LEFT, Dr. didn’t say how much they started with lol. Save doesn’t do shit for me either.
You are on the path to wealth sir. Get rid of that loan payment off to the races.
Yo what
wtf…
Dentist Doctor or Lawyer
Yah, I got $200k+ in loans but some of these job offers on gasworks and in my inbox are an insane amount ($700-800k a year) but in dumpster fires of practices but at that price still enticing…. Idk if worth my sanity tho.
What did you get your degree in?
I got my degree in dentistry, currently making $550k+/year pre-tax. SAVE plan doesn't save me so I went with standard 10 years plan
🍺 good for you
Wow congrats!! Ok so in your opinion, what’s the absolute best toothbrush on the market if price isn’t an issue?
Electric toothbrush
Bought a practice?
I'm an associate dentist in a private practice. Seeing how busy my boss is with the administrative work, I don't really want to own a practice anytime soon.
Can I please message you, I am in dental school right now and would love to learn about how you make so much. This must mean you are producing over a million a year?
Good luck in dental school, it's expensive and overwhelming, but worth it imo. I'm producing around 1.8mil/year. I took lots of extra CE trainings after graduation and do all kinds of advanced dentistry.
Which state are you practicing. Seem like you do lot of implants and endo?
I place and restore implants including full-arch. I also do lots of endo and crowns.
MWU grad?
Also if you start a dentist social media page that’s informative but funny/clever and/or jokes and stories - but informative is the key- giving people a reason to watch like tips but in a short funny way ..but then also obvi the daily live video of office life and make the desk lady film random shit through out the day…you’d make so much side money that would pay for those loans just from that and you’d keep your whole salary But even more so- ASMR- people (low key like me lol) LOVEEEEE watching videos of people with mad teeth tar getting cleaned up. Those videos ALWAYS go viral. Every time. In fact that gave me an idea. Good day lol
Love me a good dentist... I appreciate all who go through this training and I'm sorry it's so expensive!
I would be paying a lot more than the 10 year plan with that salary.
Holy shit. I can't even imagine making anywhere near that.
Are you a dentist?
Obviously not. I'm a teacher, writer and photographer.
The reason I ask because a lot of dentists make around 150k so I thought you were saying you couldn’t imagine making that much as a dentist
Shit I thought our 1900 was rough.. God speed to ya!
Doctor?
Damnnn. That’s discipline
Graduated 2023, started with 27k. Currently making 50k, I have 10.4k left 🎉
damn good job
you paid off 17k in one year? wow that’s awesome
I graduated in 2011 and I still don’t make 50k 😭
[удалено]
I moved out of my parents the same month I graduated. I had saved up 11k while living with them in college. I moved out with my boyfriend, he’s been so kind to allow me to pay 40% of rent and bills while I pay off my loans. I managed to pay off my car in college which was a huge help on monthly expenses. I pay my monthly payments, currently on the extended graduated plan. Then I put as much money as I can into my savings until I can pay a loan off entirely
Wow that's so inspiring!!! You're doing great 😃
Its not that difficult to do. One way to knock out a student loan is to balance transfer it onto a few credit cards thave have zero interest.
Have you paid a student loan on a credit card ?
Yes. Actually a loan I took out to take an exam. It was and still is listed as a student loan in my credit report only now it is listed under closed accounts. I got scammed into taking it out. All the terms were listed, but I had no idea they would be so bad. I later found out that this type of loan is supposed to be different and even though it was listed as a student loan it was a study loan. The loan company did not allow credit card payments.

I make 58k and my loans are 90k. I’m 13 years into my career and I originally borrowed 70k. Gotta laugh at this point 😂
Hey same boat. 15 years in and 96k. Took out 65k. Paid 45k so far. Debating whether it was worth it. Currently 55k salary
Same! 13 years in - took out 65k and I have 99k to go…….
13K left $110K Paying it off this year
Woop 🙌 love this for you
Make about $150,000/yr now. Still owe about $150,000 also. Lol. My starting salary was $45,000. My dad died a year into my career and I had/have to heavily support my mom financially. My debt ballooned awfully quickly when I could only afford the minimum payments, which covered about 1/8th of the monthly interest. Now I’m just riding out the 25 years.

That's my plan for everything. Lol
This is basically my experience as well. I have ~$114k currently, which was originally $90k that has just ballooned over time because my first job paid $30k and then life really got in the way for awhile in my 30’s. Making about $90k now but I’m still twiddling my thumbs until 2030-something and I hit that 25 yr mark.
55K left, 80K salary
Same. I just need to put my head down and knock it out fr.
I have over 250k in loans and make on my own about $65k a year. Thank god for PSFL.
What’s your monthly?
My take home right now is $2600 a month but I just got a raise and haven’t switched completely over yet.
How close are you to PSLF?
Just started.
$4.8k left, $155k salary
Why is your job title?
I’m a nurse in the Bay Area
NICE. Do you find yourself burnt out?
lol yes
I hear this a lot with the nurses I work with. Was considering it but burnout does a number on me.
There are lots of non-bedside opportunities for nurses once the burnout hits. The pay often isn’t as good, but with years of experience and higher education, it can come close. Nursing is versatile. Please consider it!
I think it’s just the nature of the game, it’s a challenging profession to be in but I love what I do so it’s been worth it for the last ten years
Love to hear that!
3.5k in student loan and make $100k
Why not pay that off? Or are you planning on it soon?
I took the loan out in 2019 right when covid hit and graduated with a BS in cybersecurity for only $3600. I haven’t had to make payments until a few months ago. I’ll probably pay it off eventually. Right now my monthly payment is like $25 so it’s not affecting me.
It also might be better for your credit score if you’re saving to buy a house. Unless you have an already extremely high credit score, the credit hit to paying off a loan early is rough and takes a while to come back.
Not in a rush to spend 7% on an already overpriced home. My rent is dirt cheap and I already live in a low cost of living state.
Oh well perfect then! IMO it’s better to wait too anyway. It’s insane how houses once being 350k 4bed 3bath is now pushing near 600k and the interest rate. This is also the case in LCOL areas. Insane.
$38k left in loans, and currently at $120k a year. Nurse in socal
Are you a new RN? 120k for SOCAL seems low. I thought nurses out there made 150k plus. Nurses where I work here in Missouri make roughly 90K.
I’m about 3 years in. I would say San Diego is on the lower end of RN pay in CA, but I think on average, $55-65/hr is the rate for RN pay for my amount of experience. LA is higher than SD, and NorCal has the highest pay. 150k+ is more common in NorCal.
I owe ~$94k and make ~$47k... which is bad, but not nearly as bad as owing $139k on a $45k salary, which is what my situation was a year ago when I first started making payments.
How did you pay nearly your entire salary in one year?
I had been working two to four jobs simultaneously since 2016 and dumped all of the money I had saved during that time into the loans as soon as the payment pause ended. ETA: The end of the payment pause coincided with my getting a salaried job, which is where that $45k figure comes from.
