If you have federal student loans, they don't start accruing interest or requesting payments until 6 months after you have graduated. Additionally, they are much more helpful than typical loan officers. You can very simply reduce payments, request deferrals due to hardship, and even not pay your loan (for a while). These loans are meant to help students, and rather than strong arming you into default, they make it very easy on you if you are having difficulty paying back the loan.

Of course, getting a good job should be fairly easy, given the demand for PAs. And with a good job you should be able to pay off your loan fairly simply.
