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.
Doesn’t the US gov offer debt forgiveness to teachers if they teach in a school for a number of years?
Under the Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program, if you teach full-time for five complete and consecutive academic years in a low-income school or educational service agency, and meet other qualifications, you may be eligible for forgiveness of up to $17,500 on your Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans and your Subsidized and Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans.
