I've heard stories about people who have loan debts of at least $100.000. I'm going to study mathematics in about 1 and a half years and I'm eventually planning to obtain a Ph.D. I don't know exactly how expensive this is all going to be, but with my capital and the restricted financial support I bet I'll not be able to come close to having paid off the loan debts, especially because I'll mainly want to focus on my leisure and study, rather than working. As far as I know I'll get paid reasonably well with a maths degree, but in what conditions and for how long am I going to have to live when I am in huge debt, given that interest would force me to pay it off in a tearing rush and that I'd also have the burden of fixed costs? How do normal people who have no financial support pay off studying at i.e. Harvard? Feedback/criticism is welcome!
PS: I'm also interested in physics and consider studying both. Generally, is studying physics ((post)grad) more expensive than mathematics, as this would quite influence my decision?
