Student loans.. Who has them?

Maybe between now and November Obammy will forgive all government student loans in order to lock in some more votes.

Only if you're hispanic or black. He knows he's lost whitey.

I went to Texas Tech and Changed majors after 2 years from Mechanical Engineering to Seconday Education/Exercise and Sport Science. Pretty much I'm a teacher and coach now.

Have no idea what that pays, but I'd imagine you wouldn't have gotten the job without the degree. So on the bright side, at least you aren't asking "Do you want fries with that?" If you enjoy it, there is something to be said for having a job you like. That is a ton of debt though.

Where did you go to college and what did you major in?

Now with today being my first day off for a while mind has been busy so out of curiousity I decided to see what I have paid on my student loans over the last 12 months.

College Access Loan from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board
paid almost $2500 in interest
600 in principal.

(government loans)
almost 2700 in principal
900 in interest.

Which meansI still have close to $49,000 in student loans left to pay and I have already been paying for 5 years!!

1) What's wrong with this picture? 2) That's close to $600 in just student loans. I need a new career ASAP or I will never pay these bastards off! Wish I worked a little more in College or never went! I know people who didn't go to college who make more than I do!
