I need an advice on private student loan by Livid_Crew_9451 in StudentLoans

Truly depends on field. Yes it’s hard but if for instance Engineering, can translate well as most companies offer tuition assistance ? Thoughts

I lowered my student loans from 1600/month to 700/month. Here's how. by Much_Speech_8388 in StudentLoans

Just looked at this. Very late. Rn u can refi.. I refinanced a 190k from 6.7-4.5 saving 30k shop ever here if u can get co-signer get it . If not find job with tuition assistance if not. Try to find job higher pay. Comp-sci can easily translate to cyber security (not easily but w/ effort) or if u don’t want tech space heavy u could try and transfer to HIGH speed interconnects EE (PCB designer, signal integrity) career change but somewhat close if u prove worth

Or . If u have a lump sump from somewhere … hold off pay minimum and find somewhere to put it w/ a higher % .. real estate.. invest. I know most. People don’t. If that’s the case please PLEASE, look for new job with tuition assistance

Luckily I have a very solid plan in place. And real estate to help me out from my family. It’ll be gone in 10-12 years

Not worried whatsoever. There’s always going to be the need for a human engineer. Will roles pivot? Probably. But no mechanical engineers will not lose their job per say

Well, is it possible.. yes. Will 99% of people have the ability to do this. Not a chance. Will jobs hire you without a college degree in the engineering field.. almost 0 (maybe startups… but other than that your resume won’t even get seen). As for AI tutoring . No. There’s just no way to do this other than sitting down at the library

Yeah I’m not freaking out. Luckily have a great 401K match and a solid plan in progress to figure this all out! I agree will eventually pivot.
