<prompt> Human: Hi guys! This is my first time posting, so I apologize If I am not doing it correctly. In a nutshell: I need financial guidance. I am about to go into my last year of university. I am currently 69,539 in debt and expect to take out another 20,000 in Canada Student loansprivate bank loans to make it through my last year. Tuition is 8,800 for the year, and my rent is 810month. I support myself.Here is my question: What should I start doing in order to help myself land on my feet after graduation? Saving is not feasible for me I work two jobs at minimum wage that barely help me cover rent in a month, and I have become frightened for my future. I will be graduating with a major in Sociology English Literature and a minor in history from the top Canadian university. Will name help me use my self-professed useless in this economy degree to land a job? When should I start applying? What am I even qualified for?It is frustrating not having any family to support me, and realizing that I will carry this debt into my thirties. It is frustrating when I cannot go out with my friends to dinners or movies because I cannot afford it, and unfair when they blame me for working instead of socializing. It is debasing and demeaning when I seriously consider allowing others to take physical advantage of me so that I can make enough to pay my rent. I just need to know that I will be okay. Any advice seriously appreciated. Thank You.  <response>: Take a deep breath. It may seem like you have a lot of debt because it is a lot of debt, but things will look much better if you can graduate and get yourself into a decent job. I agree with a lot of the comments that have already been posted:Visit your campus career office every day. Jump on anything that seems like it would get you a foot in the door at the right place.Revisit your expenses. 810month rent while in college seems awfully expensive. Im not familiar with your local market, but there must be cheaper options out there. Roommates suck, but so does blowing 800 on rent every month. Dont overlook job opportunities that are beneath you. My wife also earned her BA in English Lit. After college, she got a job as a records clerk, which required only a high school diploma. She was way over-educated, but the pay wasnt bad. Twelve years later, her skills and education have allowed her to work her way up to a 6-figure salary at the same company. So dont get hung up about being over-qualified for any position. Go for whatever puts food on the table, and if something better comes along, go for it.Look into the requirements for becoming certified to teach high school or grade school. It definitely beats minimum wage.If you havent already, talk to your financial aid office about scholarships. During the summer of junior year, my wife took part in a reading prize where she read a certain number of books from a pre-defined list, wrote papers on them, and got about a thousand dollars in return. The prize had been set up by a former alumnus who was an English major. There may be all sorts of weird programs out there that can help you out that you just need to ask about.Ask your profs if they need assistance. One of my wifes profs was in the process of writing a book, and he hired her on to proof-read it. If you have a reputation in your department as a good student, you may be able to get some freelance work out of the faculty. Theyre always looking for cheap labor to handle the everyday stuff they dont feel like doing. Of course, this depends on your schools policies regarding this sort of thing.Notice how all of these are things my wife did. Me, I just partied all the way through college, got my chemistry degree, and paid off all my debt after graduation Walter White-style ;Good luck, and dont give up! In 10 years, all that debt will be in the rear-view mirror.
