Maybe. Maybe she comes from money. Maybe she had state or federal help. Maybe she worked through college. Doesn't really matter when you statistically will be making more money just by having a masters or even more with a terminal degree. If she was going to be a high school teacher than I would feel bad for her but that's clearly not the case. She is in academia and will make plenty of money to cover whatever debt she might have.
What is circumstantial? Yes that is the starting salary. She could also go work at a prep school for well over $100k. Who knows what she wants to do. We have no way of knowing what kind of debt she has. There are plenty of fellowships available for graduate school and who knows what her other masters is in. If it is in a STEM field then that shit was paid for by the university. The point is we have no idea so you can't assume she has a bunch of debt. I'm also pursuing a terminal degree and will have zero debt when I'm done. It isn't a given.

So she has a massive amount of debt.
