That is the online story, I'll have a framed hard copy in my office to show clients when they don't feel like paying.

Congratulations! I'm sure that took a lot of work.
I can't tell you how many times I thought about dropping out. When I finished I paid off my debt (no where near $100k) as fast as I could. Now I'm happier with the work I have, the people I work with and as a bonus I'm getting paid a bit better than before.

Don't take this personally, but this "poor students" routine is a bit of a peeve of mine, so I'll speak up... (and yes, I know it's the journalist who wrote the article, not our star model 
Come on guys, look at this realistically. A lof of student debt is lifestyle. Here, law school cost what, $30K tuition and another $5 in books? That means that the other $65,000 in debt is what? Living a $20+ K a year lifestyle?
Don't let such articles discourage you from school. You could do it with a lot less debt if you really work your butt off (live a more conservative lifestyle, and work part time). If you choose to live a more "relaxed" lifestyle, then you know you'll be in more debt and you'll just have to deal with it.
Anyone of the "why bother going post-secondary because it costs so much" school of thought... You can do a four year degree over five years if you go part time and take three courses a semester every semester, including summer. That leaves plenty of time for work. If you live a conservative lifestyle, you can graduate debt free. Or, if you go full time, do co-op. You earn $10,000 in a work term, and that covers tuition plus residence for a school year. Little bit of part time work on the side and less partying, and you'll be debt free. I worked full time hours while studying full time for a chunk of my graduate degree, and it didn't kill me.
Anyway, the poor student in massive debt routine doesn't fly by me, never has! Especially because I know plenty of people that worked and studied full time and graduated debt free.
