I just finished undergraduate school with no loans. I am very glad. However, my degree is such that I can’t do much with it unless I get a Masters. So, I’m in graduate school right now. I have to take out loans, and I’m expecting to take out a considerable amount to pay for two years of grad school. Now, even when I get my Master’s degree, I will likely get a job that only pays ,000/year, if that. I’m planning on going into teaching, and at a Catholic school.
So, my question is: should I be overly concerned about paying back my loans? Has anyone else here taken out college loans and was able or are able to pay them back, even though one wasn’t in a big-bucks paying profession?
I really appreciate the advice!
i still owe around 15,000 for college (i graduated in ‘06). anyways, i pay 150 bucks a month currently. im getting ready to take care of my federal tax return and my question refers to amount of money made and if i can claim college loans on my returen. i made 77,000 gross income in 2009. i think i may be over the limit to get the college loans kickback. what is the cutoff? please explain. thanks much and God bless.
I have 2 separate college loans one with Sallie Mae and the other with Wachovia Bank I have been out of college for a about 3 years. So how do I shop for a "best rate" consolidated student loan?
My parents are encouraging me to go somewhere very close to our house, but i have my heart set on going somewhere else. They are trying to sell me the idea that i may never pay off my college loans.
I already consolidated college loans last year and have graduated. I have taken out new loans for graduate school, can I consolidate all the loans together?
I am filling out the Fafsa under dependent and I know I will receive a loan most from under my parent name but they have so much debt from credit cards, how can they afford to repay for my college loans. Can I get a loan just under my name and I will pay it after college graduation. In that case, how do I fill out my Fafsa application?
Thank you!
im a sophmore in HS so college is definately in the horizon for me…my family depends on college loans…especially because within 5 years 2 of my brothers & myself are going to be in college…
with the new economy at an all time low how hard will it be to get these college loans ?

A teacher I met at a seminar told me that she got all her college loans payed off by joining some cause. I don’t know exactly what it was but it sounded like, I don’t know, something like Greenpeace or Habitat for Humanity. Do either of these places do that? Does anyone know of any place or any cause that you can join that will pay off your loans or at least decrease them? I know she worked for a year and she had to move to New York for it. And I know she did it right after she graduated from Notre Dame University with her undergraduate degree. The only thing is I don’t even remember her name so I can’t ask her myself!
If I can work in a foreign country, what do I do about my college loans?
