It isn't the loans, it is the cost of the degree. All loans do is "defer" the cost until you are working. Since college tuition, books, etc. has become so expensive, paying it back afterward often costs more than what you earn (after taxes, bills, etc. are taken out).
As teachers, we can get some additional help with interest forgiveness, or even loan forgiveness if we work in a low-income area. It helps a little bit.
Oh, also, if both you and your spouse have loans, you can combine and consolidate them to make one lower payment rather than two payments that are more costly together.
