Galkeepinon and Katia,
Katia, you speak from my very soul. I'm going to school in Orinda, CA at JFKU. I'm getting an MA in Counseling Psychology with a Specialization in Transpersonal Psychology. This is all about my healing and helping others to heal, thus strengthening my healing process. My debts will be large. I know I will be able to pay it all back. I have a business plan forming and I might not get licensed because I find the BBS here in California to be way to Orwellian (1984) (Gestapo like...).
Galkeepinon,
Man, without student loans there is no way I would be able to afford to live in the San Francisco Bay Area without student loans. I borrow to the max. This means $18,500 per three quarters. We do four quarters in a year and it's a three year program. You do the math. If I chose to do the non-licensed route, I will be making more money faster. I could even go for a Ph.D. and pay for it. I have a niche that is endless for this area.
Many Blessings on All of Your Studies All of You!
Simcha> I have to admit, I live off my student loans. Besides paying for school it helps with other expenses too. I think a lot of us do. LOL :-)

I feel I'm doing my soul and spirit such healing that I can't imagine spending this money on anything but my own healing! I hate to advocate for spending money, but I finally bite the bullet and took out student loans and finally I can breathe!!!
