Less than one years salary for whatever profession the degree is for

Entry level or mid career?
That's probably a petty good rule.

this is actually a pretty good rule of thumb...I had roughly that and didn't really have trouble paying it off.

Never heard that but that seems to be really good rule of thumb. I worked my way through and had to take out a loan my last year, I managed to leave Auburn with an accounting degree and 10k in student loans. There are a lot of people who just refuse to get a job while in school, it is hard to manage it but goes along way.

So hard to determine that. No one knows where they'd be. I'd take out 100k in loans if I knew I would end up where I am now. But I would have never known that as a student. Luckily my parents could pay. I didn't even know what I wanted to do, so how would I know how much loan I should take out? I knew I'd get an ME degree, but had no clue what field I'd work in until senior year after going on interviews. Salary could be from 45k to 100k.
