I made the mistake of moving to New York and living on campus that’s where most of my debt came from 15K-20K if I can recall per semester! I’ve come along way paying it off! This last stretch is burning a hole in my pocket!

I am in my 30s, so it is safe to assume I am either (1) a mid-career level professional, (2) hold one or more advanced degrees, or (3) both. I will not say much else, but you can gauge that from my posts. I would have changed your survey to include the number of credentials or segmented based on the study area (Humanities/Arts, Social Sciences, Business, Pure Sciences, Applied Sciences, Professional degree programs etc.). Though these areas of study are not clear-cut, some have categories overlapping. For example, Economics falls under Arts, Business and Mathemetics. Some areas are multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary so they cross disciplines. I'd probably put examples in parenthesis to qualify what I mean for each grouping. I would expect people here either have some post-secondary to a graduate-level education (Masters/PhD) especially for the older crowd.​
