To Attendings, How do you feel about your medical school debt?

Recent completion of residency and fellowship, with some job offers. Calculating the salaries (and bonus) is just a crazy sum compared to anything I'm ever used to. It makes medical debt seem almost manageable.

So I just wanted to know how attendings feel about it?

Of course we would probably all like our debt to be non-existent. And it definitely caused a lot of financial/emotional struggle during the education process (screw accruing interest WHILE in school).

But we are some of the top earners in the US. It feels kind of dirty to me thinking physicians who can make 300k-500k+ seeking forgiveness methods.

At the same time, I recognize that the medical loans really cripple people mentally and can lead people away from primary care etc. And not everyone will make 300k if they go to an area that pays less etc.
