I graduated from XXXX University in XXXX this past summer and my student loans have come into repayment. I was able to find a full time position, outside of my field of study making $ XXXX a year. My Discover private student loan principal is $ XXXX making the payments on those alone over {$1700.00} a month. I am currently on the reduced payment plan but it only lasts 6 months, after this period defaulting looks like it could be my only option. Thus far, Discover Student Loans has been ridged and unwilling to offer any sort of long term solutions to make repayment of the loan affordable.
