In the USA, make sure you fill out a SAVE Plan, if you're really working minimum wage then you probably qualify for $0 Repayment and in 10 years it will be cancelled under the contract terms.

    I did, but it only applies to federal loans. I'm currently paying "personal loans" which are student loans from other lenders.

    I'm sure others have probably mentioned some options, like food stamps, and ai know it sucks, I was in a similar situation after graduation having been sold on the salaries my diploma would demand. One thing I wasn't aware of as an easy way to make a little bit of extra cash to help out, donating plasma. It's not something I want to do forever, but the extra quick cash can really make a difference. Best of luck, don't give up
