a decision to free up as much of my future measly income as I possibly can.

This is a very smart thing to do if you ask me.

Most people here are going to have to teach for a while. What will that mean? It means you'll be lucky to make $15K a year for a while. And you want to add a $200 a month loan payment to that? How are you going to eat? And then you'll land a first officer job at a regional, making $20K a year if you're lucky and still have that $200 a month loan to pay.

Ouch.

As for the loans themselves, my brother and sister have some of them for law school and med school. They haven't had any problems with the Sallie Mae but they hate writing that check every month!
