But it is sad that either you have to have alot of money in the bank to support you through college or be left with huge debts at the end of the course. It doesn't help the 'average' student imo.

I am hearing rumblings regarding loan forgiveness for social workers. If it happens, I think I would only have to pay my loans for 10 years, and then the rest is "forgiven". That would be wonderful, but we'll see. I was able to get a scholarship for one semester and then I did an assistantship for the next year. But still, it's crazy.
The way I look at it is that some people borrow that kind of money for cars or houses. I can justify it like that.
