<p>So a little problem with saying “I’m done with classes now and will be getting my degree in December” would be that I might not have earned enough money from whatever jobs to pay back the loan to get my diploma by then.</p>
<p>But then I guess I’ll be saying that to get the “I’m basically a graduate” (and for this purpose I might show them my unofficial transcript showing that I have taken enough credits to graduate) to get hired and might not matter that much once I get hired and they don’t ask for the diploma right at December?</p>
