(4,950 posts)4. $100K for nursing school... Really?
You can look for bankruptcy protection on medical debt.. in fact if he had he would have been in good shape now. But student loans are not protected. I graduated from nursing school in 98. I took student loans but I went for 2 years and paid off my loans in 10. The hospital pretty much paid my tuition for my last 2 years which I have taken class by class in the last 5. My tuition for the first 2 didn't come near $50K. Why? I took classes at the community college first. People make stupid financial decisions and it is bullshit they expect everyone else to bail them out.
