I think this warrants: holy shit.
Start reading the Simple Dollar (google it). You'll need it.
As far as I know, you can't bankrupt your way out of student debt. So you could just flee the country (likely not a good option), or else you're going to have to live with this for a long, long time.
You'll need to learn to negotiate with the debtors (is that what they're called?). After all, it's better for them if you pay of some debt slowly than no debt at all.
You'll probably also have to start paying this off, and unfortunately do this for many years to come.
I can't believe they let students take on these types of debts.
Since you work in the internet field, it's possible you might land a high-paying job with the right experience. That could help you pay this off in a reasonable amount of time (5 years perhaps).
