Damn. Is this really possible? Where did I go wrong lol

Hospitalist in major academic institute and Peds subspecialty also major academic Institute. Thats actually probably above average for our positions as assistant professors. And 6 years into PSLF which we started day 1 of residency, so good chance that opportunity for debt relief is about to go belly up. Will make more sense at that point to go private financially but love academic medicine.
