i got a 5 on the standardized grit exam because a lifetime of taking inane tests has made me very proficient in choosing answers someone else obviously wants to hear. do i get an office job with benefits that will pay me for the rest of life and only ask me to work like 20-30 years?

Buca di Bepis posted:no way is he actually telling you the truth, grad school tuition at UT Austin is $5k/semester and if you don't get a grant as an engineer you're loving up he was out of state? plus the loan cover living expenses? i'm not defending him, i'm just marveling a the level of debt

Buca di Bepis posted:$9k/semester max if he's out of state. $66k in living expenses for 9 months is pretty lol i assume he thought he'd be there for 2 years so that's $36k and my grad school grad girlfriend says you basically double that to cover living expenses so maybe it was only $72k plus interest?

Buca di Bepis posted:what does it matter if he thought he'd be paying for 2 years of tuition if he only paid for 1 i literally don't know. i don't have debt and he just told us this at a party this weekend. i have no reason to assume he's lying. like, sure lol and stuff; that's insane levels of debt, but in the words of our future president "what difference does it make?" these are the circumstances people in my generation are dealing with and these are people with graduate degrees in STEM which is supposed to be the silver bullet to millennial woes

Buca di Bepis posted:i can easily imagine a 20-something inflating their debt to compete in a hosed up 2016 dick waving contest yeah except it wasn't at all. we were talking about rent and how he and his girlfriend are saving a ton of money by living in a house with 2 other roommates to which he said he wouldn't be able to live in denver if it wasn't for his particular living circumstances. then he came forth with a description of his debt, completely unsolicited. so i wouldn't call it a "dick waving competition" so much as a candid description of his finical situation
