If you took a large loan to attend a target/semi target hoping to break into IB after graduating but didn't, what did you do?
Assuming IB salaries are 2x the median where you'd be working.
I'm a student and my options are 75k pounds total loans for a non-ish target and 90k pounds total loans for a semi target @ 10% for 15 years.

Bump
Not to be mean or off-putting or anything, but I don't think many in IB have similar profiles to you. All the best in any case, but I wouldn't expect too much in the way of useful responses on here. My own 2 cents, these fees sound expensive, and 10% interest in the current climate seems very expensive; if you get into (and stay within) IB, it will be a small speed bump along the way, but at a semi-target or non-target I feel this is a risky bet ...
