Their platform doesn't really work like that. Now that being said you can work for the Hospital (the school is through) and get half your tuition paid. Currently she has been applying on every floor for the past year and still not had a shot. So she only has one more year left and she's done thankfully.

0 for my wife and I. Feels pretty good.
We're on this zero debt kick and just have the house. Unfortunately, it'll be a long time before we can say that's gone. |

It sounds like a silly platform.
I know someone who got a cna in HS, worked in one of those jobs until she got her RN, worked as an RN through the completion of 4yr, and then as BSN through masters classes. Maybe its' different there, but I can think of at least 5 cousins and 3 other direct relatives in some segment of a similar path to the above. Some didn't go beyond the RN though. As long as the school is good enough to pass their boards, unless someone is going to try to be a nurse anesthetist or something higher.....where is the advantage to a "really good, expensive school" in that profession? Nurses are in high demand. As for my loans, I think I was around $30k in the hole when I got out. I paid extra on the smallest loan, when it was paid off put all of that onto the 2nd smallest and so on. Paid off the 20 year notes in 9 doing that. |

Exactly right. At this point it's useless for her to sit for her LPN when she will graduate with her BSN in a year.

Have about 18k and the wife has 15k. After my 5th year at a low-income school district, I'm eligible to get debt forgiveness on my loans.

That's a pretty awesome deal TBD. Good way to pay you back for service, and the system gets something out of it as well. Props.

26k for 324 a month. I'll probably consolidate all of them but my private loan. Guess it depends on how long it takes me to get a career and how much I make

Ok I am not going to ask you how much you make, but my cousin has her MBA and teaches high school Lit, and she makes about 30k at a low income high school in Seattle, just sad.

My wife has the same deal, but she makes considerably more than that, and she doesn't have her Masters yet.

This. Was able to get my BS/MS in EE without loans and glad I'm currently able to finance my MBA without any loans or dipping into savings.

For two years undergrad and 1 year grad - $7500 in student loans
Army Loan Forgiveness Program - 4 year enlistment. (Plus automatic promotions for college degree). I think it worked out pretty well.

Missouri is notoriously a cheap state when it comes to paying teachers. I was offered a full-time teaching position (teaching 4th Grade) at a mid-Missouri school. I joined the Army because an E-4 in 1984 made more a month than a teacher. Sad, ain't it.
