<prompt> Human: So like the title says, I stupidly chose a very expensive school because like most teenagers I was fed the narrative that I needed to go to college and get a degree. No one really drilled it into me about how much I would really owe. This is my own fault but its not worth dwelling on because its way too late. I just graduated and Im making 70k in a tech position in a city with a very low COL. My rent is 750 and in total between rent, utilities, internet, etc Im paying a little more than 1000 a month. I have no car payments or credit card debt. How screwed am I really? This seems like its going to take decades to pay off this debt. Can anyone talk some sense into me? Sort of freaking out.  <response>: Ask yourself this: would you have gotten that position WITHOUT the degree?Set goals. Go check in at rynab.
