How long does it take to pay off student loans if you get a job in the field you are actually pursuing ?
If I have the option to obtain the max in students loans but need less than 4k is it worth taking the full loan if I know I might have to pay out of pocket for two classes?

Dear Terri,
Thanks for your question .
If your field is Medical or Engineering, it can take between 4-10 years, otherwise , it will take a long time . But even in Medical or Engineering , you need to save money and pay regularly to get out of loan quickly.
Take as less money as possible using loan , pay back as soon as possible. If you can stay with your parents, save money that way.
Hope this helps !
Thanks and Regards,
Jerin

To manage your tuition debt effectively, aim to keep your total loan amount to about 5% of your starting salary after graduation. This approach helps you budget for living costs like rent, utilities, food, and transportation. As your career progresses and your salary increases, sticking to this 5% guideline will help you pay off your debt more quickly.
