Student debts and low wages

[摘要] Student debt has for some time been an area of concern for students, educators, and parents. The problem is particularly serious for students in professional programs such as veterinary medicine that typically involve being in university for 6 to 8 years. The average educational debt for students graduating from a DVM program in the United States in 2013 was $162 113 and over 50% of graduates had debt in excess of $150 000 (1). Canadian DVM graduates also have substantial debt although they are in far better shape than their American counterparts. The recent new graduate survey of the class of 2014 (2) showed that the mean debt of 2014 Canadian DVM graduates was $65 744 and ranged among colleges from $31 220 for graduates from the Faculté de médecine vétérinaire, Université de Montréal, to $140 421 for graduates from the Atlantic Veterinary College.
