I don't have any student loans because it is something that I've always heard people complain about growing up. I made sure to not accumulate any by taking advantage of scholarships and paying for tuition up front.
Do you have any student loans, or did you have any? How do you plan on paying it off or what was your strategy on how to knock out the debt?

I do, unfortunately. Student loans are actually the primary thing holding me back financially. When I went to school, I initially had a scholarship that paid for room & board, I worked 3 jobs to pay everything else, but still couldn't afford tuition/books without loans and I went to a state school. The most frustrating part of it is that I've been paying them for over a decade and I never actually graduated because I completely burned myself out trying to work so much and take a full courseload.

I do as well, but thankfully the covid break allowed me to get things in order, so I can start paying it off. I should have it paid off in three years.
Though I like to have them 'canceled' just having the interest still turned off would be good enough.

Thankfully and well for my sadness, I don't live in the USA, but I have 0 student loans and I am actually finishing a second BA, which will cost me only 4000 Euros for the whole 3 years  |

I'm going to guess that is a good deal?

Be sure to get an internship and start scouting out possible jobs, you do not want to wait until after graduation.
