    If she starts work now she will earn $40,000 in two years. Borrowing 5000 dollars in year one times a flat 5% interest rate equals a total of 5250 which she would have to repay. Not caclualting for taxes, but based on her gross income, that would leave her with 42, 250 dollars and she would end up ahead by the end of two years. So yes at 4 percent it would also make sense. At 6 percent her payback amount would be 5300 dolloars and she would still end up ahead. But in real life there are taxes and compound interest.
