Well, now. It matters what kind of work you will be going into.
Also, you should consolidate your loans. And, make payments on time from the break. The better your payment history is, the better off you will be.
Lastly, we all have to do what we have to do in order to get in on that schooling. There is no shame in having student loans at all. The shame can come if you do not pay them and they go into default. So work hard, and pay on time. And, please consolidate.

Having a degree will make you more likely to earn a higher income over time. The $50,000.00 you owe in student loans represents an investment in yourself. Look at it this way: it is less than a new BMW 5-series costs! $50,000 will never seem insignificant, although you will see over time that the investment you made to get your degree will pay off monetarily and in your own life fulfillment.

I just graduated with my MA in Secondary Education and I will owe $49,000.00 in student loans over the course of the repayment period I could afford (barely). It is an investment in yourself. It is an additional payment per month, but it is worth it when you realize how much more you've learned and how you will make a difference in your chosen field. Budget is key! :)
