You can reduce the amount of loans you take on via scholarships and grants . You just have to be a good student or match the criteria for grant money and you get the majority of your tuition and sometimes even room board paid off . So taking that into consideration . if you take on 20 k of debt and become a software engineer ? No problem ! You ' ll have that paid down in a few years . Alternatively , if you take on $ 100 k of debt and study for a degree useful only to risky careers or careers with meager pay , then you basically screwed yourself over . You ' ll be drowning in interest and loan payments for decades , on top of having difficulty finding and sustaining a job in your field that you feel justifies your degree choice . Wanna take a guess as to how much debt I left college with , and what career I chose ? I ' ll give you a hint it ' s not 100 k and it ' s not gender studies .
