Facing about 100K in student loans, can anyone offer advice?

Yeah man, it's not fun graduating and landing a decent job only to realize you are going to have to live like a starving college student just to get back to a normal lifestyle. I am trying to look at it as a lesson I can hopefully pass on to my children, or any friends thinking that loans are a good way to pay for school. I wish I had asked more questions before signing off on so many. Ah well, hindsight is 20/20.

I worked retail through most of my college career so I could easily fall back into it for a while to make some extra money. The only down side is that I don't know how much it would really pay off as the going rate is only $10 an hour. I know a few friends that bartend and I've thought about doing that.

I have considered this, however I do have my fiance to consider, and I know she would have a hard time with it. Also I feel as if my current job is one that has some serious growth potential, and I would like to stick it out for at least a year or two.

I'll have to look into this. I do have some small credit cards that do have outstanding balances <$500, but it would be nice to get rid of them for now so I can focus on my student loan debt and car payment, unless I sell my car on top of that.

That is what I am going to do. I currently live with my fiance and we are considering getting rid of my car, so I can free up the money I'm spending on a car payment, gas, and insurance. I realize this is a big sacrifice but if we can go for a year or two with only one car, this may help us a lot.

Thanks everybody. I really do appreciate the help. I have been hiding from it while I was in college, which is why it accumulated so quickly, but I'm doing what I can to stay positive and eliminate this debt efficiently.

Thanks for the help, everything seems to have worked however when I ran the gpresult -r (we run 7 Pro) it said the GPO name (wsus) had been applied up top, but then at the end of the report it listed that the WSUS GPO was not applied due to Filtering: Not Applied <Empty>. Do you know where I can enable or apply filtering so that it will be applied? Thanks!
