That does not seem bad at all, though I suppose I am coming from the perspective of being employed immediately out of school in your field, which obviously is not the case for everyone.
Does anybody know what the average time to pay off that sort of loan is? I'm assuming that any undergraduate, regardless of degree, could expect to have that same average debt, but maybe that isn't true either.

- jlgreco 14y agoIt's not just HN, everyone seems to be in love with that number. Reddit, old media, etc. Previously I thought I was some sort of extreme/lucky outlier for getting out with a little less than $25k.
