Drowning in student loan debt

Last week, President Obama proposed some relief for graduates with student loans. But for too many, decisions made in college on student loans continue to haunt them. Edited for clarity.

How can people in this situation have kids

  • Name: Daniel Crews
  • School: ITT Technical Institute
  • Debt: $24,500

I am currently struggling to pay my student loans, even though I have a good job at Bank of America (BAC). Every month, $300 from my pay is taken out to cover the loan payment. With all my other bills, I barely get by. I have a bachelor's degree in information security, but I'm getting paid for customer service work. The struggle is real. I have no idea how people can do it and still have kids or any life.
