I received my Masters in December of 2006. My loans are at 44,000 and the interest is about 53,000, leaving me to pay about 97,000. That is a lot of money! Is there any help out here? I work in a depressed area. Does anyone know about the Chicago Public School System or educational system? Is there anyone that I could contact to help lessen thes payment?

The best place to start is with your teacher's union or the human resources department of the school district. Often they have the information needed for programs like these or if the school district qualifies. Most of these programs will not touch you if you have consolidated your student loans. I will include some links for motr information on the subject. Good luck!

I don't know about Chicago, but the Federal student loans do give forgiveness waivers/deductions etc to students who get thier masters and then teach in, forget the term, maybe section 8 areas. Low income school districts. (Late for me here and my brain is fried from teaching all day lol).
But contact the federal student loan or your own loan companies, or if you are like me BOTH and see what they say.
Hope this helps and Congrats !!!

they're going to be there, waiting Mwaaaa haaa haaa haaa (cue ominous thunder)! heavily however, you may desire to ask your individual loan provider what the terrific thank you to proceed money from distant places. once I went to England for 2 years on a working holiday visa, i improve into waiting to easily mail very own cheques (in pounds sterling) lower back to my financial employer account in Canada and my loans have been immediately deducted from there.
