I’m 42. I owed about $88K after college (including one very expensive semester of med school in which I realized I didn’t want to be a doctor after all). In addition to my full-time job, I did a whole bunch of consulting work, which let me completely pay off my student loans plus pay for grad school out of pocket.

I’m 42 and my uni debt was about 15k GBP, down to a couple of grand now as I’ve just been paying interest until the last 5 years when I landed a good job and started clearing it. Out of interest, what was the amount you owed in your country when you finished, and what do you owe now at your current age?

Owed $52,000 upon graduating with a bachelor’s degree.
It’s been 16 years and I still owe $40,000.
I regret going to college every day of my life.
