Stephanie,
Student loan debt can be a burden. If you are early in your college career you may want to take the time to search out and apply for scholarships and grants that do not have to be repaid.
Check with your guidance counsellor to see if your school has help with career placement. Many schools are aligned with businesses for summer internships that could lead to full-time post college positions. Some schools also host job fairs and career days.
You may also want to do some research so your're in a good position once you are out of school and need to start repaying the debt. Google Job Fairs in the community where you live (or want to live). If there is a company you would like to work for you can check out their website. Many companies have on-line job boards where you can sign up to be notified of opportunities that match your qualifications.
All the best on your journey!

Dear Stephanie,
Glad to give you some guidance and advice. What is more compelling in job market today is to have the right skills which the companies want to absorb from students graduating out of college. While it is important to have a technical degree , it is also advisable to upskill ourselves to add more certifications. For eg : Today in IT sector AI (Artificial Intelligence) is considered to be a very skillful job and as the market is moving towards automation , this skill can grab the attention of the companies and reach out to you for testing your skills and provide a job opportunity.
So in nutshell , keep yourself up breast on the current market trends and quickly adapt and you will see getting jobs would not be challenging as you would have the right skills.
Hope this guidance helps and All the best for your job search.
