No Job to Pay Off Student Loans? Try eBay

With $30,000 in loans, an anthropology degree, dreams of communicating with primates via sign language, and almost no current job prospects, one Indiana University alum is trying to auction off her loans on eBay, the Indiana Daily Student reports. She's already made $50. Only $29,950 plus interest to go!

Not thinking ahead?

Perhaps she might have addressed these concerns prior to incurring this large debt.

She might as well have gone to a vocational school. Anthropology and the like are for rich girls.

You never know. There may be people that have more money than they know what to do with and want to help someone in need! It is worth a shot!
