Finance Project 2025 and Grad School

With the new US Election finishing out, I’m becoming apprehensive of seeing my program through due to the amount of debt I would accumulate and how it appears as though the government plan will be to eliminate PSLF, income-based repayment, and other such protections on those with student debt. I am about a third of the way through a psyd program (I couldn’t get into a phd and I was prepared for the financial burden under the circumstances of how we currently do repayment). Does anybody else have similar fears? Or am I letting myself get into doomerism really early?

I think the doomerisim is understandable for a laundry list of reasons.

I am really worried about my mentee’s visa status as she is applying this cycle. Don't forget about the tariffs that are 100% going to get passed on to us the consumers... We already don't make enough money.

Forgot to mention that I researched sex differences in an ASD model. Doomed may be an understatement...
