[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please do not take on 80k for your misery just to appease your parents. Do you currently have access to counseling services through your school? Even a few sessions might be able to help you make a plan to move forward. Do you have any friends or other contacts who you might be able to talk to about your situation?

I work in college access. If you were one of my students, I would encourage you to at least take a leave for a semester so you can figure out what you want to do. Don't take out these loans under pressure. Get a place with roommates, get a regular people job, start exploring your options. Check out your state school options. [b]You really don't want to get locked into a situation where you have to work at a job you hate and in which you feel like a failure just to pay loans that you didn't want to take in the first place![/b][/quote]

This is phenomenally crappy advice. It's self-indulgent bullshit. OP, take out the $80k and finish up at Columbia. Paying off a lot of student loans in a job you hate while feeling bad about yourself is a part of adult life. You need to do some serious growing up and realize that most people hate their jobs and just go for the highest paying one. [/quote]
