A lot of people want the next level of bailouts to include student loans. I don't agree--even though I took them out myself. This girl seems a little whiny to me. I Googled her, and hadn't even heard of her "prestigious private college in New York City."

Someone should have told her that, if you're going into any of the media professions (journalist, producer, etc.), you're looking at low pay for at least the first few years of your career. Even as you get increasing responsibility for your own stories and features, it's still a while before you can good money. That goes double for someone like her who incurred such massive student loan debts.
I'm also wondering how the heck she had over $100,000 in student loans after her undergrad. My alma mater wasn't exactly cheap, and I know lots of people who went to expensive schools, and I can't think of a one who has that much in student loan debt.
ETA: I see no way that the government grants loan forgiveness. The closest thing I could see is the expansion of programs that are currently in place for those who go into public service positions.
