Not as bad as this other guy I know. He's ~30 years old, 2 years into a physics PhD (and with a prof who typically graduates people after 7-10 years; he's only graduated 2 people so far). He spent 8+ years of his life first doing a bio undergrad, and THEN a physics undergrad! Plus he doesn't really think he can get a decent job afterwards... He's not professor material, that's for sure.

You too can make it with no debt. Try working during the summer (at a good job--Wal-Mart probably doesn't cut it), marking/teaching during the year (depending on your year), and not blowing a thousand bucks a semester on booze and microwave dinners.

As an aside, I took up a trade apprenticeship after realizing that degrees don't equal jobs, and now get paid to learn vector addition and other high school shit. Feels good.
