So it's going to be inevitable... When I graduate (next December), and 6 months after. I will have to start paying student loans back.

For you all who have taken trips that have lasted longer than a month. How have you planned for such things as still having to pay the student loan back.

The reason I ask is if I do get the chance to work/holiday abroad in Australia, who knows how long it could before I find a job and be able to handle rent/food/other expenses, although I do have a free place to stay for a bit, and then responsibilities back home(credit card[abt $1000]/student loans). Obviously I don't plan on sticking around here to be a slave to my debt and paying in off in half the time(or sooner) than it normally would take.

Any personal experiences or tips? I think it would be smartest to pay off my credit card with an extra student loan, being that I don't use the Stafford to it's fullest potential. Good idea?

Thanks!
