Lately I've been super stressed. I am now a junior in college and I now have to take out student loans and taking on a debt like that makes me cry almost every day and every time I ask people say that stressing about this is a normal part of life and that when I get my bachelors I will make back the money spent. But I know that how I am feeling is not normal. I am getting a degree in Accounting and I dont know if I will ever make back the 75,000 dollars. What should I do? Quitting as a junior feels wrong and I have no idea what will feel right so I am just being passed along.
What should I do?

95% of students are in exactly the same position as you; with a degree in accountancy, you are much better placed to be employed and repay your loan than someone with an arts degree.
Your best bet would be to talk to people who have graduated under this system, and see how they are coping with the ridiculous debt load that is, sadly, 'normal'.
But ultimately, this has to be your decision, no-one else's; because there are no guarantees. If you do decide you can't cope with it, be sure you haven't already committed yourself. It would be a shame to be responsible for a loan you never even used.
My only advice is to take a long-term view: compare $75,000 debt + a degree in accountancy, to no debt. And no degree.
