Government Debt Consolidation Loans – Update

JJJJJJJJJJJJJJ asked:


I’m graduating at the end of the semester.
I’ve worked my entire way through school.
My wife and I have one son and another on the way.
We’re finding it hard to make ends meet and I’m pretty sure my degree won’t get me a better job after graduation.
I plan on getting into grad school, but it is so expensive to apply everywhere and I don’t have the $1,000 or more I will need to apply to the various schools I chose.

I hear of many college students getting large loans to cover all of their debt to consolidate everything they owe. They pay off credit cards, cars, etc. I know it’s only a temporary fix as you still have to pay everything off, but is it a good idea?

Plus, is there even any way I can get an education loan AFTER I graduate?

Is there such thing as a good, low rate education loan to help you get into grad school?
