No, Dad, I do not need you to point out to me that grad school loans can be onerous if the school isn't willing to provide no-strings aid. It may surprise you to know that I actually thought about that! Before telling you that I've decided to apply to programs! Sometimes! I actually! Think about things!
I've thought about the possibility that I will be in debt and jobless in five years. I really have. But this is killing me, can't you get that? Can't you give me credit for having weighed my options?
