No, but there are 22 year olds who go to medical school who are. The loans would still have to be non-dischargeable in bankruptcy, but default rates would be very low.

There are still required classes, that cost a lot of money, to even get into medical school. Money that most families don’t have to give to their children.

I understand. I'm just saying that a medical degree is one of the few degrees that are enough of a sure thing to justify six-figure loan amounts absent government backing.
