The most important and most widespread reason is that the student need several weeks or even months to find appropriate well – paid job despite their expectations and hopes to find it right away after graduation.

The majority of the graduates are underemployed. It means that they have temporary of part – time job and at the same time looking for the permanent position.

  In the case of financial difficulties the graduate can also apply for the suspension of payments. Some lenders provide this service to the debtors.

One more variant to simplify the debt pressure is to consolidate the debts. It means that the graduate will have one consolidated loan, which he have to repay each month to one lender with the fixed monthly payment and lower interest rate. There are many offers of consolidation. One of the most advantageous is provided by the US Department of Education and is called The Income Contingent Repayment plan. This plan was established for those people who are working after graduation on the positions with low salary, such as positions in public service. The monthly payment changes every year depending on the financial situation and other life conditions of the debtor.

It is quite hard to find the offer with the best conditions, so the students usually use the special calculator to compute the savings (finaid.org).
