Thanks to college and med school, I am now a quarter of a million dollars in debt. Whenever I start to think about it, I feel a crushing weight on my chest. That’s a lot of debt. It’s going to dictate everything I do in life. I can never stay home with my kids because I’ve got to be working to pay back my debt. (Lucky for me, children are nowhere on my horizon right now.) Sometimes I think I’ve made a huge mistake with my career and it’s all her fault.
