loans

by me (no login)

 

This is my first visit to the site and I have read various message posts. The one thing I am tired of is everyone complaining about their loans. Let me preference this statement by saying I am about 175K in the hole. So what, I made this choice. Was I the only one that read what I was signing. I did the research and I knew the risks when I started my journey in podiatry. I realized very early that a lack of training would spell doom for me in this profession. So you know what, I went out and got the training. Early in the year, 7 offers as an associate, all over 70K, great benefits, and great opportunities for partnership. Yes, I understand that I will have to work extremely hard and hussle to pay the loans and buy into the practice, and money is still going to be tight for a while. The loans may not be paid for 30 years, so what, I made this choice. With this choice, I realized and committed to myself that I can't not fail thus I will not fail. I will do what ever it takes (legally speaking) to succeed. I realize that right now there is not enough spots for everyone to receive three years of training but taht will eventually change, it is in the works.
