I understand the point of the "return"- she's telling a story of somebody who truly was not happy in medicine and did something about it. Yes, no loans, but you guys have to consider that not everybody is in the same situation; quite a few classmates of mine, actually, have had parents pay off loans in full. Lotta children of doctors in medical school, shocker.This post may apply to a certain subset of medical students, and for those that can't find any message in it- that's too bad. An argument can be made that somebody depressed enough in medical to overdose or commit/attempt suicide (no idea if OP did) may actually still, as hard as it may be to grasp, be happier in another occupation, despite being totally in debt. Not everybody hates medicine for the same reasons or sees loans in the same manner.OP: I encourage you to perhaps leave a pretty obvious disclaimer with each post regarding your particular circumstances, so that students have a better idea of this person's context, which does affect students. Many (majority?) students are trapped by loans, and do not feel that they have the ability to jump ship simply because they are unhappy. I think you bottom line is valid, yet perhaps lost in your posts because you fall short of actively addressing this pretty large riff in the story.Maybe you can provide students with educational resources for working themselves out of student loans, or seeking to partner with students who have also jumped ship, yet are stuck with massive loans. Honesty and openness, regardless of the backlash, will carry your message much farther.Also, for future reference, I maybe wouldn't state that "I'd probably kill myself" if you had loans. The fact that this actually does happen, coupled with your failure to acknowledge that most students do have loans, comes across as naive and perhaps pretty damn disrespectful.Sent from my iPhone using SDN mobile
