I will be in the same situation here in about 6 months. Around 100k in federal and private student loans. I have one loan with Key, and the rest is from Sallie Mae. I plan on consolidating and deferring for as long as I need to. Its rough to have such high student loans and such crappy pay starting out, but I knew going into college that it would be like this.

At least there isn't a hiring shortage!! I heard horror stories when I first started college of people graduating with all of their ratings and their degree, and not finding a job and having to work at Best Buy just to make student loan payments.
