    Dear Drew:

    I don’t know about the “quarter life crisis”, there are crises at any age, really, what about a newborn-crisis, that moment of coming out of the comfort of the womb. Lots of people  are in the holiday crisis as  I type this, this “most wonderful time of  the year” that isn’t so wonderful for so many.

    I would  say, having read your post (and I wish I could read  it more attentively, perhaps tomorrow morning when I am fresh), that first priority is for you to find employment in your field, that entry level  you mentioned, to  produce income, pay those loans (find the best  plan for fastest/ most efficient payment of the loans.. is there a way  to have some of the loans  forgiven?), and live  out of state, away from your parents’ home.

    I agree, it is not time to find  yourself, as in finding what career you would be  engaged in if you went  back in time. It  is about doing your best with the education you have now to produce income, move  out of your parents’ home  and pay back these loans, in this order.

    I will soon  be away from the computer and  hope to read more from you (as  well as re-read your original post) when I return, about sixteen hours from now. I hope   other members reply to you before I am back.

    Hi, Anita!

    Thank you for responding to my post. You make a valid point referring to crisis’s at many ages, so I am not alone there. I understand as the older you get, things change, and that’s what I guess I have trouble coming to terms with, hence why I brought up the QLC. I concur too about searching for employment as my number one priority.

    In my situation I am not so sure about loan forgiveness, that these days as I read up on gets a bad reputation. There are, however, programs out there like government roles such as Peace Corp, Americorp, joining the service, etc that could help, but it’s not substantial. I invested the time looking into those and am not entirely opposed to the idea, but my main focus at the moment as you mentioned is finding the job first, moving out to wherever the position is located, and start paying back.

    My full-time job right now is applying to full-time jobs, so I’ll just have to keep doing that and hope that someone will give me a chance or opportunity. Thank you again for your reply, it’s nice to hear from another person’s perspective.

    Dear  Drew:

    You are welcome.  You make good sense in your posts and you are very gracious and pleasant.

    If you want to add anything regarding your challenge of living at home, the challenges in your relationships with your parents, as well as the frustrations with applying for jobs as a full time job/ anything else, please do.

    If you do post more I will read  and reply when I am back to the computer in about sixteen hours from now.
