I spent the last three weeks working on a subject that’s very personal to me: student loan debt. I’m very public about mine: I have just under 100k, and am only now, seven years after graduating with my PhD, beginning to pay down the principle. A third of that debt is from the first year of my Master’s Degree, which was “unfunded,” aka I didn’t have a tuition remission through the department, and thus paid for out-of-state tuition (plus cost of living, even though I was working part-time at three different jobs). The other two thirds comes from paying cost of living, “fees,” health care premiums, etc. over the next five years of grad school.
