Hi there,
I made some big mistakes and I'm feel incredibly scared for my future. I took out excessive student loans to complete a MA and PhD which have not led to any employment. After 9 months of graduating with my PhD I still cannot secure anything!
I regret not going to school for something practical. These loans were used to pay rent as well during the pandemic and invest in an additional credential to try to make myself more appealing to employers...nothing.
Now I look at my student loan dashboard and I am in $270k in debt and I'm not even a medical doctor! The internet was paused but will start up again. I have no idea what to do. I'm unhoused and unemployed. I have no family to stay with and I'm going from housesitting situation to situation with no car (so I'm paying for rentals).
I feel very down on myself and I need to figure out a creative option. I applied to Air Force reserves and I'm trying to find some other possibilities.
Any help/suggestions/ideas would be great. No, I was not armed with financial literacy. Yes, I am trying to learn my lesson and buckle down.
