Just one more payment of $1300, and I'm free! It is difficult for me to believe that after 20 years of being in student loan debt hell - 10 of those years in repayment - that my day of liberation is almost here! There were times in my life where I never thought I'd pay them off.
I am a 30-something engineer and student loan slave, the Kunta Kinte of the modern day. I believe that knowledge is power, but that you shouldn't have to pay tens (or hundreds) of thousands of dollars for it as I did. Obviously if I got myself into this education debt mess, then I'm an idiot and everything I say should be doubted and questioned. As the great Leonard Bernstein said, "As a teacher, I have the right to be wrong."
