Higher Education (University +) - April 2007

I realize similar questions to this have been asked but seeing how everyone's situation is different I'm going to ask again. I am doing the "college" thing completely on my own, some financial aid but not much, no worthy cosigners for loans, no one to help me pay, and no parents or any sort of guides on how I should go about getting loans or anything of that sort.
I am a full time student and an english education major, which means I always end up with a full agenda. I do have a job but it's only for about 10 hours a week seeing as a) it's a very small college town and jobs are slim and b) I don't really have much space to work around in my schedule.
My question is whether or not my student loan amount, after 4 1/2 years (estimated) will be around 50-60,000, is too much. I am severly stressed out about having to owe this much but think that because of my situation, it might be ok. I was just wanting any advice anyone had to offer.
Thanks!

I can't decide if I want to become a Radiologist or a Pharmacist. Which one are you, what school did you go to, and which type of school do you think is easier to get into?

I just completed my Master's degree and it wasn't too difficult. I've been debating going for a doctorate eventually, but I don't want to start something that's too tough for me to finish. I'm pretty good at writing papers, but the idea of writing a 200 page book scares me. Do all doctoral programs involve writing a huge thesis? Also, I'm employeed full-time and I've got a baby at home, so I wouldn't be able to devote hours and hours to it every day. Is getting a doctorate a full-time job or is it similar to getting a master's degree? Also, this might be a stupid question, but what's the difference between a doctorate and a PHD?

ok. i have a 95% GPA in my 9th grade. then i was admitted to this new school, which is a very prestigious public high school and is much more competitive than my previous school. I had a 88% GPA in 10th grade. Now, i am a junior. I had a 84% GPA in the first semester. but I am expecting a 95%GPA in the second semester. Also, i signed up for many AP courses in my senior year. I have a 2100 on the SAT.
If you were a college admission officer, what do you think about my resume?
I transfered to this competitve school because i want to elevate myself and make myself better. I could have chose to stay in my old school and maintaina a perfect average but i felt it was a waste of time in there.

I know that you can fax a release to the college to get information. But is there a site or another way to find out just using the person's name/SS#? There has to be another way....please let me know!
