I was thinking the exact same thing!
I choose to become a teacher. I does suck that I need a BA degree to teach and I earn less than some people who don't even have degrees, but that just shows that we have a messed up system.
As someone else said earlier, in most states there is a teacher forgiveness loan program, but you have to meet their strict criteria of what is a critical need area, it changes every year, and they want you to usually teach an urban school.
