This economy is a killer. I am sorry to hear you are struggling to find work right now, especially with all of your student loans. Have you contacted them to get the hardship deferment. As long as you are unemployed they will give you a deferment. It's is definitely hard out there.
I recently decided to go back and work on my nursing degree. I am employed full time. I put the brakes on the nursing clinical end. I can't justify spending the $70k for that part of the degree only to not be able to find work and still have to work at my current job. My current job is a good one and it's not a hardship. I was just trying to change careers to do something more meaningful. At this point I am contemplating getting a psych degree to round myself off and give myself more options in case I need it.
