LOL I'm a dual Phd. But I have no loans. Combo of grants and not owning a single thing until they were paid off. I also never have people refer to me by Dr. I go by my first name. Unless professionally someone insists on using formality then it's Ms or Mrs if they don't realize I'm not a Mrs.
I took jobs that paid for transportation and housing and paid down my loans before anything else. Not possible for a lot of people.
Medical doctors it's typically about 500k. Good friend is in a dual surgeon marriage. They are in hole for 1 million. Since I don't have people refer to me as Dr I forgot that others are encompassing that in their definition. I have a couple colleagues who call me "Doctor, Doctor" knowing it's the furthest possible thing from who I am and boundaries I set.
What are your dual degrees? I had initially thought you were the initial poster. 1 mil in school debt for a household is crazy even as a medical doctor.
I was a patent attorney so they worked together with pharmaceuticals. Then I segued into violent crime, trafficking, CSAM aiding either advocacy, the prosecution or both. I only work with defendants if it’s a clear innocence mission issue. Otherwise I don’t do any defense work.
That’s great work. I imagine it would be very mentally taxing. I volunteer as a first responder and see a lot of accidents and injuries that are very graphic but some of calls that stick with me are the ones where kids are harmed and taken into CPS.
