It would seem to me better to make that type of education more of a self study hobby and get a real degree in something that actually pays (finance, medical, engineering). Just an idea...
I agree too. Keep your debt as little as possible, you will thank yourself 4 years later. And the suggestion to have no more than $120k in debt if you are to start at $40k or even a 2:1 ratio is ludicrous. Remember, the borrower is slave to the lender. Stay away from debt.
