 Admittedly, at first, these seemed like acceptable options. But every day since I've started at Columbia I've questioned their adequacy more and more. Nevertheless, what has held me as well as many of my fellow students back is the lack of a clear alternative way out that leads not only to career satisfaction but also to a comfortable life with income that renders our debt manageable. Professor Moglen has pushed us to consider alternative career paths and to avoid becoming “meat” packaged by the Columbia assembly line, but the ability to entertain the option of pursuing off-the-beaten-path careers we must still consider our ability to support ourselves and pay off our loans. The pressure of paying back loans, it seems, is too great to permit us with any breathing room upon graduation to reflect and explore our options.
