Hi, I'm a current D2. I will be graduating with an approximate 500k dental school debt when I gradate not including the loans. I'm so bummed out because before starting school, it never hit me how much money that is because I got caught up in the fact that I had gotten into dental school. Should I even continue with school and work to pay the crazy debt or should I just drop out? Even if I drop out, I would have to pay around 2000 a month for the monthly payments to pay back the loans. I really want to become a doctor and just graduate and work and have a comfortable life. For those that are paying their debt off, how is it really? Where I'm from, I'll probably start making 10,000 a month. I can live with my parents and send in around 8000 for the montly payments once I graduate, but I'm wondering how it all works. This all really sucks because I don't even love dentistry, I HATE the city my school is in and I miss my home and family. They barely give us money to live on so I live like a dog. I can barely buy food. I'm so depressed with all this. Can anyone give their insight?
