haha you will
i have about 13,000 in student loans BUT (heres the good news)
you normally have an insanely low interest rate, mine is %3, and have until youre 60 to pay it off - what's more if youre in a low enough tax bracket (which nearly all of us recent grads are) you can file the interest you have acrued for the year and you get a tax refund
YAY !
it sucks but youll get used to the payments...i have and ive only been paying em for a year

In Denmark tuition is free. You actually get paid money if you study.

Thanks for the sympathy euphonicfilter! I totally feel like shit today I don`t know why. This project is bugging me, and when I look on the net for help I realize I could just stay home and teach myself the same thing.
Man we should move to denmark

Unfortunatly, money has such a strong physical influence that it dominates human beings. It is essential for personal security and sanity.
Writing this lead me to beleive that maybe because of my "MONEY" mentality, I fear the worst.

I am currently paying off my first student loan. At the same time, I am paying 1/4 of my annual "after tax" salary on tuition fees on a part time degree I'm doing. It is criminal how expensive some courses are and also that tuition fees are not tax-deductable. The fuckers at my university have gone back on something we agreed a few weeks back too, so I am going to have to empty my savings to continue studying and also not go on holiday this year.
Remember kids, work hard at school, graduate university with flying colours and you'll be set for life. Erm, I mean knee-deep in debt and working all the hours God sends.

as long as you get a really good grade at the end of it, it will be worth it.
So don't spend all your time getting pissed and stoned. if you get a shit grade, what have you gained? 14K debt, or thereabouts, probably.

school is such a fucking scam. Humanity is officially corrupt, with no way to reverse itself minus a global catastrophe- which I pray to jesus christ for every day. It doesn't help that "he" doesn't exist of course.
