Yeah, yeah, "beware of student loans beyond what you can repay".  Thus
why I put in that caveat, so SR would be able to get a high enough
paying job to pay back a likely amount of student loans - if SR is not
fortunate enough to have some other means such as a scholarship, or a
job that allows for college - in a reasonable amount of time.  Typical
engineering starting salaries are far higher than typical humanities
stating salaries.
