This is the Ramsey Call of the Day, part of the Ramsey Network.

Hey, Abby in Alaska. What's going on?

Hi, thanks for taking my call.

You betcha. What's going on? How can I help? How can we help?

So I'm taking the foundation class for high school, the high school on, and I'm just

learning about, like, different ways I can pay for college, and one of them is community.

And I'm going into medical schools, but I'm just wondering, like, what my options

are financially. Like, what's the best option? So what grade are you in now? I'm a senior.

You're a senior in high school or college? High school. Senior in high school. And what do you

want to do in medical school? I either want to be a PA or a nurse protectioner.

So you're thinking more nursing school, a program like that,

versus medical school, which would be you want to be a doctor or a surgeon or something like that.

Yeah.

So there's a number of different options.

And I guess at the root of your call, you're asking,

how in the world can you do nursing school debt-free, right?

Yeah, yeah.

So it starts on a foundation of a debt-free undergraduate degree, right?

You're going to make, that's going to be a commitment that you're going to make.

I will not go into debt. That means I'm going to start at a that you're going to make. I will not go into debt.

That means I'm going to start at a community college if I have to.

That means I'm going to go to in-state.
