So I went to a private undergrad and ended up 25k in debt, even after paying 30k out of pocket (10k a gift, 20k of it I made while in school).
I could have just knocked out my prereqs in 2 years and applied to pharmacy school but I wasn't sure what I wanted to do at that point.
I entered pharmacy school and based on my first year I figured my total student debt, including undergrad, would be ~135k. Then this week I find out that my 10k scholarship is a one-time thing and that pharmacy school is going to cost about 35k more than I expected, when you account for interest.
I also wasted about 4k in the last 2 months on stupid crap and have been regretting that for weeks now. I'll be lucky to make 4k during my summer internship so now I feel like I'm working for free because I essentially threw away 4k.
So pharmacy school is going to cost 35k more than expected and I'll probably end up ~170k in debt. I could be 2 years further along in school if I didn't get a degree in undergrad. I could have no undergraduate debt if I went to a cheaper school. And now all the work I'll do this summer is just to make up for my stupidity in spending 4k.
School is going great but I'm really frustrated in terms of money and finance. I could have a lot less debt and be further along in school had I acted differently. When looking at a student debt of ~170k it just seems hopeless. I am picking up all of the shifts I can but another $80 is nothing in terms of the debt that I will end up with.
