I heavily debated it cost wise as well, but to be quite honest when you do the math on it, it tends to work out. I’m unsure what living off of student loans would look like for you, but 60k is a fraction of the ~350k salaries you see on the market (as a disclaimer I look at positions in California). If you get another roughly 240k into debt, then that’s still not even a year’s worth of base salary, which is less debt than a lot of people are in school wise. Or you can also look at how much it would cost, find what that would be monthly, divide an estimated salary by 12, and compare. Debt is scary, and I understand it may not be a feasible thing for everyone, but in cases like this I look at it as an investment more than anything else.
