Graduated 5 months ago, and finally found a job exactly one month before direct loans started hounding me for payments. ALHAMDLILAH!

How many of you felt the post-grad crunch and how bad was it for you?

I owe almost $30,000 in student loans.

As soon as school finishes in 4 months or so, I am fleeing the country.

If I were you, I would flee.

If you dont work what was the point of the degree

How do you plan on paying all the money in a month? don't tell me you don't mind the interest piling up, the one whose eating and the whose paying is the same.

I'm guessing the states right, damn that's cold. In UK they only start taking payments once you start working be that if it's one month, one year or 20 years
and if you don't pay it back after a certain amount of time (I'm guessing over 20yrs) then they pardon the debt clean.

You can still work in other countries. Just flee the original country you had your education and find work in a sunny, hot place. That way, you are not working like a dog and paying back loans to a place that is snowy and cold.

The Federal government? have never heard of subsidized loan and I'm taking mines from both the provincial and federal level, 6 month is the limit and after that is interest.

I've already did alhamduillah. I am safe

Inshallah god willing if I am alive later on, I will think about hajj later if my future wife hasn't gone before.

If you plan on taking your wife you will need to pay off any debt you owe.

Who lied to you?
You only need to start paying it back once you earn over a certain amount.. Cant remember how much it was though.
