Hello, Brian. I am debt $75,000 and am absolutely loving the job it got me. HOWEVER, unless there's some tricks I'm not aware of, it is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to live off entry-level pay, pay back your student loans and survive. There's no way I could do it without my wife's income as an RN. And even at that- after paying our bills, a crashpad for me and saving for kids' college and our retirement, it's a bit tight.
My advice- find a nice sugar momma to help you out
