College Expenses

How does the government really expect people to go to college when many people have problems like this.

As of finishing my master's degree, my debt hovers around $70,000 -- it will grow to over $100,000 by the time I pay it off. My repayment schedule reaches into my late forties, at $650 a month. If I do the kind of low-paid, meaningful work I want to pursue -- teaching, writing, grassroots organizing -- I will likely struggle to make each payment.

This makes me feel pretty happy about the $400 I am pissed off about having to pay for grad school this year, not to mention that my parents paid for my undergrad so I don't have loans from that. $650 a month for student loans is a HUGE hole to have to climb out of.
