I've taken on loads of student loan debt this year, but I am looking for a good paying job this summer in Dublin in public policy so I don't have borrow as much money for next school year.

Here is a bit of advice before beginging to pay back your student loans, make sure that your lender sends you the promisory notes for your exsisting loans. Also ask for the dispersement notes, to see how much money was actually sent to you. I have a friend who also has a substantial amount of loans that need to be paid back. Her lender decided to send more money than was actually asked. She has, on numerous occasions, asked for copies of the promissory notes and they refused. She has contacted the U.S dept of education as well as laywer. Ive read your commnets about having a substancial amount of debt due to student loans.

I have to say that the structure of tuition/loans is a sham. I have completed a BA, MA, JD and PhD (as of may) and my loans, as you can imagine, are substantial. Almost all of my debt stems from law school where tuition is raised to substantial levels despite the fact that the faculty is not paid THAT much more than any other department. In law, and medicine it is seen as desirable to put students into major debt so that they are obliged to log serious hours working for the highest bidder afterwards. Were the education cheaper, dear god, lawyers and doctors might not work 100 hour weeks. Bitter on this end. But nobody put a gun to my head! True true.
