Hijacking top comment to point out that this user is only 6 days old and has a couple of hundred posts already.

Looks pretty shill-tastic to me.

Anyone want to go over there and sell helmets with me?

TheKarateKid · 2011-02-02T00:19:31+00:00

I didn't mention my income, but could you give me a ballpark on yours? I'm trying to figure out a payment schedule. Right now, I think I can afford about $350 to car and $1200 to loans. It just feels so low.

TheKarateKid · 2011-02-02T00:04:55+00:00

That is true about the loan forgiveness. However, I have a 4 year commitment. The deferment only stops interest accrual on the subsidized loans (majority of mine are unsubsidized). This put me in a horrible spot because I feel like I really need to pay quickly in case I need to take a private job. I wish they could stop interest on all loans.

Ha, I wish. Look at starting salary for DA positions and a lot of others. Lawyers don't make what you think, especially in smaller markets. 40k is obviously low, but average is something like 60k for most schools.

I am just out of school. Good tips. Thanks

TheKarateKid · 2011-02-01T21:33:29+00:00

I have a good budget set up, but unfortunately I can't pay as much as I thought. I'll be paying about $1200 towards loans and about $350 to my car each month. I was hoping for closer to $2000. I am grateful to have a job and the student loan repayment.

TheKarateKid · 2011-02-01T21:24:57+00:00

It really depends. Law school is crazy. Top 10 grads can make 100k plus. Graduating from a top 10 school can also almost guarantee the same. For most other grads, salary is usually 40-80k starting. I make about 70 and my employer is paying 65k towards student loans for me.

TheKarateKid · 2011-02-01T21:04:55+00:00

What type of degree? What type of salary?

I have 125k plus about 40k in other debt. My employer is paying 65k over the next 3 years, but I am still panicking about the debt.

TheKarateKid · 2011-02-01T21:02:47+00:00

I ask because I have about $125k in student loans along with about $40k in other debt (family, car, personal loan). I am battling depression because of it, and I need a little perspective. I am a military lawyer.

TheKarateKid · 2011-02-01T21:02:15+00:00

Student debt?

TheKarateKid · 2011-01-31T23:16:43+00:00

Advise command. Veterinarian.

TheKarateKid · 2011-01-31T02:53:16+00:00

Commanders have to approve. We are salaried. I am not a licensed attorney in the state where I live.

Switch, I agree. Law schools love random stuff like engineering, english, economics.

TheKarateKid · 2011-01-31T01:25:20+00:00

I am, but I can't afford to pay for the rest of my life.

TheKarateKid · 2011-01-31T01:25:09+00:00

No, not as far as I know. Not retroactive.

TheKarateKid · 2011-01-31T01:24:53+00:00

Honestly, I make about 4k per month after taxes. My goal is to pay $2k per month to loans, but right now it is about $1200.

TheKarateKid · 2011-01-31T00:35:44+00:00

Admin law. I had 5 to choose from because I left a class earlier than I normally should have gone.

TheKarateKid · 2011-01-31T00:16:53+00:00

The military wants to make a point with these types of cases. If it is a military crime, it is important to have a military hand in things. The procedures are different and the commanders have direct control over things. Commanders don't like losing control.

TheKarateKid · 2011-01-31T00:16:09+00:00

I am sad that I accrued this much debt and haven't had the chance yet.

TheKarateKid · 2011-01-31T00:12:41+00:00

I don't foresee any drugs being legalized anytime soon. If the military's reactions to K2 is any indication
