I had student loan debt I paid down to around $32K shoot up over $50K (this is more than I originally borrowed) when I ended up losing my job with IBM in 2004. Work has been sporatic then, with the last full-time job I had was in 2007. This is with a Masters in Information Systems. I suggest anyone here who doubts the info I posted to go and see if you can find better numbers.
The field I got into on Masters level was said to have large demand prior to 2000. I followed every convention, and went with what was supposed to be a "sure thing". Well, it isn't.
