Genetic Counselor Return on Investment?
Post Body

I'm wondering what you all think regarding whether or not a Genetic Counseling degree is "worth it"?

I'll be graduating undergrad with about $70k in debt, and since there are no public schools in my state with a program, I'll need to either go private or out of state. Some of the ones near me would cost over $100k by the time I'd graduate.

Since genetic counselors make around $70k a year, I'm wondering if you guys feel your path is worthwhile? Genetic counseling is the first time I've found something that id consider a dream career. I really want to enter the profession, but I don't know if $200k in debt is smart.

Those of you who have recented graduated, has your debt negatively impacted your life?

Also, I've heard grad students tend to get less grants and aid than they did in undergrad. Is that true?

Thanks!
