The saddest stories are those of people who took out gigantic loans to go to medical school but two years in realized that they hate it and decided to drop out. You can go to college in the US very cheaply or for free in any discipline but medical and dental schools are truly expensive.
What I genuinely don’t understand is this. All of those people asking, “but what should I do now? It’s unfair that I should be on the hook for $180,000 if I decided to quit this career. How come I should still pay back the loans?” These are clearly very low-IQ people who don’t understand the basic functioning of the society where they live. How were they accepted to medical school? Isn’t it predatory to accept these people, knowing that they’ll take on crushing amounts of debt and never graduate?
We need doctors, and I’m in favor of the government subsidizing the education of people who passed very, very complicated entrance exams and an IQ test.
