Hot damn... Paid off my student loans today... |
|
I'm not done with school yet... A couple more terms left until I graduate. But, it will be nice to finish up debt free.
Everybody else makes post about the silly little things that happen to them. I thought I would do the same.

I was lucky. I got a lot of money from grants and I did work study the entire time.. It was hard, but I have some friends looking at 30K in loans.

I paid off one of mine a year ago. (Still have more from a different school, but still).
It's such a good feeling, isn't it? And finishing debt-free--well that's a big deal, not a silly little thing! Here's to you :toast:

I took a few years off to start a small business. My friend can take over things while I finish up school. I doubt I will ever use my (soon to be) degree in my real life. I will use things I learned from it. I just won't ever work for a bank.

7. Yikes... Didn't you do a hard science? Biology? |
|
Hopefully you can find a good job.
My total was only about 15K. I did go to a Community College for the first two years.. That saved a ton.

11. My roomie has a B.S. in Physics... |
|
He did Teach For America. Apparently going through that program got him the certificate needed for him to do substitute teaching in Oregon. http://www.teachforamerica.org/Something to look into..

To get them paid off before graduation is excellent. Took me about 9 years after graduating from undergrad to get those loans paid.

That's not silly, it's a big deal. :toast:
Some of my friends' kids had lots of debt when they graduated. I was so glad I was able to keep mine from taking out student loans.
