Accumulated a large debt between student loans and others

catecicc, now that you've registered a counselor will call you and discuss some of your options.
Sorry about your job situation, but now that you have an MBA, shouldn't that help you obtain a better job?

I wish it did, but unfortunately in my line of work (paralegal) I have in a way made myself overqualified. I am starting to look outside the legal spectrum in hopes of finding something that will benefit having my MBA and making more money.

Congrats on that accomplishment though, I'm working on my Masters right now, too!
I think that "overqualified" phrase is sooo underrated!
But you know the saying, "When a window closes..." there's probably the perfect job out there waiting on you! 8)



Was that a "graduate" student loan?
Don't they usually wait a few months before you have to pay it back?

You spent so much of money in doing your MBA. This has also put you in some debts now. Because of this, don't compromise for any job that pays you less. Try to get a job that helps you in getting the returns. This country has a big market. You have to place yourself in the perfect avenue and you are qualified for this. Don't lose your patience at a sudden setback. For your existing debts, consolidation is a good option. It will only sound helpful in your way.

Hi Cate,

I wish I could trade you places (my job for your MBA :-) Don't worry, there are several lines of work you can gain with an MBA and zero experience. (Project Management, Business Management, Process Streamlining, etc). Try finding a company that does Corporate to Collegiate outreach programs (I know Kaiser Permanente and AT&T have these programs, at least it can get you in the door). Good luck, I hope you land your job soon.
