The way the economy is today I wonder if I will have a job available to me when I graduate from Stanford university. I mean right now things look really grim. Stanford is a great college and I'm sure I'll be able to find a job somewhere but am I going to have to leave the country of my birth to get that job. Things have changed since I got my first job in Jr. High School. On the bring side there are plenty of the lower paying jobs available to students around here. Should not be hard for you grab one and start paying that student loan off. Better now than later.
