What is the amount of your student debt (in today's dollars) when you graduated?

Three counterpoints:

1. I didn't have to work at school to land a job with a great firm. BYU types do have to work hard or be very gifted.

2. I have a leg up in further employment searches (per the admissions of several employers), especially in Utah. At least as far as getting my foot in the door goes. This is not fair, perhaps, but it is true.

3. My wife would have killed me, you, herself and 9/10ths of Provo had we lived there one minute longer.
