Would still make more financial sense to keep the lowest interest loan, which is usually the student loan, til last Trail Rat. But if you’re tax free or off shore in Africa (or even just getting a decent day rate I guess) I’d imagine that your takehome allows you to overpay on a lot of debt*
*Assuming you have a mortgage and other debts of course.
I suppose what I’m saying is that it not only depends on how much and when the student loan was taken out, but also on earnings (as mentioned before) and personal circumstances (dependents etc).
FWIW I have an engineering degree as well, and IMO the quality of teaching at good universities offering good degrees hasn’t diminished, so I’d dispute Daveky’s comments, but I would say that employers now have to sift through a lot more garbage to find the worthwhile degrees now.
