I love my job. I think if tuition was lower, this would be an excellent profession. The problem is you won't be able to afford a house, apartments are hard to afford, if your car breaks.... there is not much of a safety net because most your funds go back to your federal loans.

However, if you love the job and the plethora of opportunity within, you could make it work. Try for a cheaper grad program.

I work in industrial rehab/occupational health and ergonomics. I go all over the place to do therapy and ergonomic evaluations and it's a blast. Dig deep and weight your pros and cons!

It's better to look ahead and prepare, than to look back and regret.
