Paradigm inside a timebomb

Dear Colleague,

I appreciate your realistic analysis and pragmatism towards our profession. You mention that anyone comtemplating our profession should forgo owning a home, having children, and getting married for several years. Furthermore, they should expect many years of hardship before obtaining success.

I couldn't agree more with your statements. So why don't we both recommend that anyone entering our beloved profession sign a document that they understand the above paragraph before they start signing their life away to student loans.

Please don't let the kiddies forget that unlike other types of debt, student loans are for keeps. For example, if I start a subway sandwich shop and fail I can always declare bankruptcy. If you fail at podiatry and have student loans you don't get a second chance!
