Forget about jobs, concentrate on getting into grad school before your first student loan payments are due. While in grad school, loans can be deferred.

Otherwise, you'll probably get an entry level job at the Town Rag making anywhere from $19K-27K per year and end up forking out $300-$400 a month in student loan payments, and another $500 per month for your apartment.

Wait -- if you're paying $300-400/month for student loan payments, then your first step should've been to re-consolidate your loans.

Ding, ding, ding. My sister's got over $50,000 in student loan debt (she's a lawyer), and she only pays $300 after consolidating. I had about $30,000 and after consolidation I only pay about $172 a month.

If you're loans have already been consolidated, how on earth do you re-consolidate? What's left to "consolidate"?

College is such a crummy deal. In today's world, I'd call it indentured servitude.
