This is so true. Why would someone owe $100,000+ and become an educator that earns $45k, which is really about $30k after taxes? It's going to take many years to pay back the $100k as an educator. That same person could get an MBA and earn 6 figures or medicine etc.

It changes how capable people decide what they will do with their lives.
