Sure I could make more money reading out hundreds of rat colons or mouse kidneys every day, but I don’t think I’d feel very intellectually stimulated (then again, my PhD totally burned me out on research as a career anyways). ![]() I like the variety in diagnostics and academics. Industry has never really been a big draw for me because it’s so heavy into grading slides and tox path, neither of which interest me. I don’t want to have to wait until I’m 45+ to be able to afford a nice vacation or a downpayment on a house or buy quality food, etc. Even if PSLF falls thru somehow and I end up doing traditional IBR for 20 years or whatever and end up paying “more” than my original loan, in my mind it will be worth it to be able to afford “life things”. Sure I could pay it off quicker throwing all my dough at it, but that would be ten more years of living like student.and at 36, I ain’t doing that. I do income based repayment, so it’s manageable.
