<prompt> Human: I graduated business school in May of 2017 and was sure I would be in law school by January of 2018. The forgiveness period on my loans was 6 months from the day of graduation and the first student loan payment was due last month. I live in Florida and the schools are all in Florida. I did not get into the law school I wanted and now I will have to wait until August of 2018 to get a response again. Im retaking the LSAT and revamping my file to make sure I get a better chance of being accepted.In the meantime, I moved back in with my parents and they are helping me with a lot already housing, food, insurance... but I have no income whatsoever and I have student loan payments coming in. The total for these is about 500 a month.I want to get a job and start paying these off but I was told if I make anything more than 4,000 a year they wont provide me with any loans for law school. I want to get a job, desperately, but Im afraid if I do then I wont qualify for loans in August and wont be able to attend law school.I want to get a job, I want to go out and scream, I want to cry, I want to run. My birthday was a few weeks ago and I spent the day crying and feeling like Im just piling on more and more debt but at the same time Im so close to getting into my dream school and finishing my dream career that I dont want to stop now.Im getting teary-eyed as I type this because I feel like I have no way out of this one. But if you have any suggestions as to what I can do please let me know.  <response>: Honestly, law school is a waste of money. Use your under grad degree you have now and get a job and start paying your loans. I work in ediscovery with no degree and work side by side with barred attorneys who couldnt find a decent job after law school. They all regret their decision and these are smart people. I could never have put up with law school. Unless you aced your lsat, I would say go for it. But you didnt do well enough to even get in. Time to cut your losses and avoid another 150k addition to your loans. Not the answer you wanted, but the answer you need to listen to.
