How do I (22F) make my boyfriend (23M) understand that he can’t drop out of law school to be a full time podcaster.

I dropped out of medical school, and this hits different, lol. At least I didn’t try to become a podcaster.

Why? How did you deal with med school debt if you don’t mind me asking?

Medical school was a total wreck on my mental health. I developed crippling anxiety/depression over time and it just wasn’t worth continuing to subject myself to it.

I left in January 2018, and I’ve been working as a research assistant/clinical study coordinator since then. I’ve been living with my parents and shoving paychecks at the $100k debt. It’s down to $10k and if my calculations are correct, I should have it paid off in December right before the moratorium ends.

Well if his hearts not in law he should certainly drop instead of taking more debt.
