How do you deal with the stress of student loans?

My only way of coping is to think that I went to Uni for a course which would lead me directly into a well paid job, and one that is always going to be in demand. I hate anything to do with money, I hate to take a penny off of anyone and the thought that I'm in my overdraft (even if it is interest free) fills me with a horrible feeling. I think as long as you are going to university/college for the reason to get the job or career you dream of then it is justified. These things are necessary and if it makes you happy otherwise then I see the temporary debt as worthwhile. I tend to put it to the back of my mind, occasionally panic about it, but then realise that student loans (well here at least anyway, england) are repayable at a relitively low interest rate. For me not having a student loan wasn't an option and I'm glad that I took it in order to make my life better.
