Easy, finish your degree and then see if you can not either get a raise or find work at another company that pays you more. Finally, try to pay off your student loans as soon as possible. It took my parents without student loans until they were in their 40’s to be living comfortably so don’t look for any quick fixes.

I feel your pain. Believe me. Between my wife and I, we have a little over $100k in student debt! It makes me sick to think about. For the time being, it is just a fact of life that will be there until we pay it. It is tempting to dfer it, but it will still be there later. The military will help repay student loans, but I’m not sure how you may feel about that? Banruptcy will not help either if they are Fed loans. Hopefully the Feds will recognize this problem and use some of the bailout $ to help guys like us who are hard working people trying to make a living. Good luck. Don’t get discouraged. Pay aggressively on them, if you can.
