college help: So I graduated from college in December, still haven’t gotten a job (thanks economy), thought I deferred all my loans til I get a real job. - Help.com

yeah, actually, contact them and while it has not been placed into deferment, you should be able to get a forbearance on the amount that is passed due, due, whatever. They should allow it especially if it was a federal loan

Depending on what you went to college for, try looking for a job beyond your city or state. You may be able to get a decent job somewhere else.

If you are unemployed but actively looking for work, you can get an unemployment deferment. This means your payments are suspended and no interest accumulates. I have one right now on my student loans. If you can’t get an unemployment deferment, then get a forbearance. Interest will accumulate with a forbearance, but you don’t have to pay it now if you don’t want to or can’t. The rules for either are liberal, so you shouldn’t have any trouble getting one or the other.
