Here is your dipolma. Here is your suit. Here is your bill. See ya!
At some point I am certain that we all had this feeling. Emotionally it felt as though our entire life broke-up with us. It did really. Our lifestyle, our friends, our social responsibility and expectation, and our go with the flow mentality suddenly sent us a letter saying it was all over. That letter (your degree) had a big receipt attached to it that monetized your beloved college years and the only thing left to do now is sit back in your parents sofa and stroll down memory lane about the nights you can't remember and the friends you will never forget news flash for ya the present situation is not going anywhere and that weight you feel on your shoulders will only make you weaker if you don't start building some muscle trying to lift it.
If you have had a similar experience or are still having it, I am here to tell you that you will evolve. You will only evolve though with goals and action. You will only evolve with a positive attitude and the desire to do something with that degree you have earned.
"You have got to pay to play" stop looking at your student loan debt as an obstacle. Instead look at it as an obstacle course! Be thankful for a that bill! Wait what? Yes I said be thankful... let me explain.
Milton Friedman will help me out here, " It is a law of economics that people respond to incentives, that's just how it is"... The government has given you more incentive to succeed than you could have ever developed on your own! Thanks Uncle Sam!
Start your obstacle course (repaying that loan) with tireless amounts of effort and positivity. Go get that job-work your tail off-put your degree to work-walk into those doors it will open for you-and take this challenge head on. You will grow some tough skin along the way and your professional muscles will grow along with your integrity and value you bring to society.
Start climbing gang! We are just getting warmed up!
With Much Respect,
Mr. Daniel Clark
