<p>gnomechomsky - sorry to hear about your difficult experience. Although it might not help, you are not alone in your circumstance. Many students were mislead, either overtly or covertly, into taking on more debt than made sense. </p>
<p>You may have already done this but if you are interested in a CRA career, try some informational interviews with people in those jobs. Check your career office for alums that are in the field - they’ll likely be happy to talk about how they broke into the field. Sometimes a few steps are needed to get from where you are to the career you would like longer term.</p>
<p>Hang in there and best of luck.</p>
