When I graduated I felt like a leach on society. I could only afford school with grants and subsidized loans. I wanted to work a little, give society a small payback for their investment in my education. I have been working full time for 4 years. My reward for doing so, EFC = 21,000. I'm not going to have a job in medical school so why should anything other than my savings account matter when they calculate EFC?
BTW my parents are dirt poor and I'm 28 anyway, so the entire EFC came from my income, which I will no longer have.
I am married and my wife will work but probably only for one year, since she wants to be a stay-at-home mother. Oh well, I feel lucky just to be going to med school, almost nothing worthwhile is free.
