<prompt> Human: So i dont want to go into how i got so deep in debt spending issues and helped my girlfriend in a difficult situation but i am currently in 5.5k in credit card debt with about 500 in my bank account. My current rent is about 800 per month, i recently lost my job and now my only income is from a delivery job that doesnt guarantee shifts. I am looking for a job asap but what is the best way out of this situation?  <response>: Best way out? Finish college and get a job in your degree field. Really, 5k in CC debt sucks but is by no mean crippling. Just maintain minimum payments as best as possible and focus on finishing school so you can actually pay large chunks down the road. Dont be discouraged by debt it is sometime a necessary component of life.
