T3 DQ2 For Major Assignment 2 in Topic 4, you will look ahead at your financial plan after graduation. For this DQ, you will look ahead at the assignment instructions and take some time to think ahead about what you will need to do for this assignment. Start by reviewing the instructions for the assignment and the Excel template in the assignment location in Topic 4. Then, respond to the following for this DQ. 1. List your program of study and two possible career paths, along with the estimated income for each career in your area. My degree is Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and Special Education - Elementary School Teacher: $58,314 - Special Education Teacher: $76,588 2. What is the difference between a subsidized and unsubsidized loan? Provide details on how the difference between subsidized and unsubsidized loans changes the total amount of money paid back to the loan. - Subsidized Loan: : One type of student loan that the government provides for financial needs is an interest subsidy loan. Uniquely, the government prevents interest from accruing while the borrower is enrolled in courses, post-graduation grace period and certain grace periods. These loans are given to undergraduate students and usually have a reduced interest rate. Generally, graduate students are not eligible. Students can finance their education with higher interest loans with both annual and lifetime loan limits. - Unsubsidized Loan: Regardless of financial need, undergraduate and graduate students can apply for student loans without a subsidy.   Interest on   non- interest-subsidized   loans   starts accruing immediately after   the loan is   paid off, unlike interest-subsidized   loans.  Borrowers are responsible for paying interest throughout their academic journey, including course enrollment, deferment and post-graduation. In general,   interest rates are   higher   than subsidized loans.  .   To avoid accrual of interest,   students have the   option   to pay it   after   they   have registered for courses.   Although   subsidized   loans are more   flexible,   the interest   accrued on the loan can increase   the total repayment   cost.. 3. Find three academic sources that provide information on the impacts of debt on personal spending and the global economy. Sweet, E., Nandi, A., Adam, E. K., & McDade, T. W. (2013). The high price of debt: Household financial debt and its impact on mental and physical health. Social Science & Medicine , 91 , 94–100. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.socscimed.2013.05.009
