Mary's in Chicago. Hi, Mary. Welcome to the Ramsey shop.

Hi, thanks for taking my call. Sure. What's up?

I have a son who was accepted to an Ivy League law school.

And I know 10 things that you say you should never do is take out student loans to go to school.

And we paid for all of his undergrad, everything we'd saved through a 529-24 plan.

And he's taking out quite a large sum of money, about $170,000 for three years.

He did get $90,000 worth of scholarships. But I just am really nervous about that.

I mean, that's a lot of money. And coming out of where he's going, he's in a T-14 school.

So his income in three years when he's finished will be $200 to $250,000.

Maybe. You hope. Well, that's what big law is paying in New York and Chicago.

And that's where he would end up. Based on what?

He's a top student and 100% of the law students that graduate from that university did not go into big law.

Well, the reason he chose the one he's going to is because it's international and that's what he wants to do.

I know, but 100% of the international lawyers, the specialized international that graduate from that law school,

did not make up $250,000 hours. Some do. But not all of them do.

So anyway, this is already decided. How can we help? Because we can't fix it. I mean, he's going to go do it.
