What I Know Now That
I Wish I Had Known Then
As
the expression goes, hindsight is 20/20. But what if you could have the
benefit of foresight as you make financial decisions about how to pay for
a health sciences education and manage your student loans? A group of
high school and college students interested in dentistry were asked if
they had thought about how dental school and the financial choices they
are making now might affect their lives for years to come. The advice
given afterwards to all students considering their financial choices:
preserve your options. This simply means when borrowing for school, don’t
force your hand into a repayment option that you will later regret.
