As you know, I graduated in 99 Psychology/crim degree--30k in the hole.
I couldnt get a job or anything for the next 4 years since i had a criminal record.
So i remained on welfare and went from job program to program--
I got a pardon 2 years ago and slowly have worked hard to pay my loans
I havent made much money--mostly 10 bucks an hour on and off employment
In sept. the gov paid 12k for me
i made my last payment of 1500 bucks
So im back from time to time and Debt free (and alot less fustrated)
