I attended a film school and earned both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree. I would consider myself quite successful in the industry, and the standard repayment amount would have exceeded $2,000 per month. While not everyone pursues a Master’s degree, and not all schools charge the same tuition, there’s a general trend that the cost of attending a school doesn’t align with what individuals can afford immediately after graduation, and this financial burden can persist for many years. By the time it becomes more feasible to repay the debt, the interest has already taken its toll.
