<prompt> Human: Background: BS, Hospitality management, Masters Of Liberal Studies with a focus in Marketing and Branding. Experience: Serving at upscale restaurants, hotelsHi, thanks for reading. I recently finished grad school in May, and am still searching for jobs. After delaying reviewing and understanding the totals of my student loans, I have finally faced the facts- I have 7 private loans with Wells Fargo that total around 100,000 Interest rates around 6-7. I know these can be consolidated together... One private loan with Chase for 6,000 10.52, and finally I have 138,000 in Federal loans Stafford, Graduate PLUS. All of these are in grace period until NovemberDecember, and I plan on applying for income-based repayment for the federal loans once Im employed.I know I made some bonehead decisions borrowing this much and letting it add up to an insane amount. I just want to know if its possible to dig my way out of this mess? Im on the job hunt right now and Im trying not to be discouraged, which is why Im turning to PF for help.Budget without loans 1025 725- rent bills, 300 -food, gas, entertainment expensesPlease let me know if you need any more information. Assistant: What are you doing now for employment? Since you graduated in May, what have you done on a daily basis to find a job in your chosen career field?Not to sound dim, but I personally think youre going to have a VERY difficult time getting out of 250k in student loan debt. If you were in a doctorate program, a top 3 law school, or a software engineer it could be done...but with a Masters in Liberal Studies, I really think its going to be difficult to overcome this.What has your school done to help you find employment?Human: Thanks for the reply.1 Im on the hunt for a full time job in marketing, although I have been applying to all sorts of jobs- project manager, sales, etc. - in addition to applying at restaurants. I work part-time doing marketing social media for 2 live venues which has resulted in some extra income.3 I really want to teach English in Korea, and had long planned on doing that after school. However, long story short, I have an arrest on my record from using a friends fake ski pass back when I was 19, and this shows up as fraud. Pretty shitty I know, but since teaching in Korea is what I wanted to do, I had the charge expunged, and requested a new background check showing the charge dismissed-- but what do I know, the charge is still there. So Im working on that- again, but its a long process dealing with the courts.4 Other than the crippling debt, my school has given me some pretty good career counseling. Theyve given me tips on my resume and interview skills. Also a link to the Careerlink job search website which has resulted in a couple of upcoming interviews.  <response>: Why did you get a masters if your long dream is to teach English overseas?
