How much debt is considered too much for education majors?

I’m majoring in elementary education and and my parents can’t afford to pay for my college which means I’ll have to do it myself. I have been applying for scholarships but haven’t been awarded any yet. I’ll be required to take our student loans. How much college debt is too much debt considering teachers don’t make a lot of money? #education #college-debt

Many colleges have student loan calculators on their websites. Once you calculate how much your degree will probably cost, you can determine how much student loan debt is too much.
