My student loan debt is way too high. I am considering asking for a raise or quitting and finding a job that pays more.

I am in the education field. I am a week out of training. I owe 93k in student loans. The job pays 55k. I would have to pay 600 per month on the loans. I cannot afford to pay that much. I was considering asking for a raise or quitting and finding a way different job that pays more money. Does anyone have advice? I also was thinking about asking for a raise because I’m starting over. Should I wait a year before asking for more money? I just cannot afford to pay that much each month and still have money for living expenses, travel, hobbies, etc. What are your thoughts?<br><br>TLDR: student loans are 93k. The job pays 55k. I do not think I can afford to pay 600 a month
