Anybody get rid of student loans??

Probably because consolidation rates used to be lower then they are now. My undergrad is locked in at 3.125%. Too bad I am applying to dental school which will cost over $200,000..

ouch!

Yeah. The amount of debt I'd have to go into bothered me for a while, but I'll be making enough right out of school that I'd be able to pay it off relatively quickly.

Gotta be some way to negotiate these. What's the point of going to school if you have an extra "house" payment to make each month for 25-30 yrs. Where's the benefit? 25-30 yrs from now i'll be retiring and only then getting out of debt. WTF? Why not skip "higher ed" and you'd be way better off. Wish i'd thought of this before i started all this 10 yrs ago!!!!! GRRRRRR

Christ, I am so fucked.

...and 7% is complete bs to! Rates are going down. I took alotta the loan out at 2 or 3% Why the eff can I not get a decent rate. I realize that's the going rate, but wtf. I've been messing w/this all day. I need a drink

I took about 30k out in loans, been out of school for about 8 months now and have half of it paid off

though the debt is painful i have opportunities that my education has afforded me that i wouldnt have otherwise. my income tripled overnight and now i am settled at a place i can comfortably retire from.
