Holding Back

I'm trying to figure out my future...or at least my plans for my future. I'm really not sure what to do anymore. On the one hand, I LOVE being in school, and I love the idea of being a professor, but at the same time, I'm not sure how economically feasible it is right now to continue on in the realm of higher education. I'm already saddled down with more than my fair share of student loans and I don't know what my degree in Spanish is really going to do to help remedy that. I'm torn about what to do. It'd be great to be a professor, like I said. But is that much more school really a good idea right now? Is it even feasible that I'd get into a doctorate program and get the funding that I would need since the economy has definitely affected the economy. I could study to get a Post-Bacc Teaching Certificate, but would that be economically feasible either? More costly school to get trained for a job that is rewarding yes, but well-paying, no?

Do I leave school and get a job? Knowing that I'd have to start paying back my loans all that much sooner? I'm conflicted and it's really taxing to me right now...constantly exhausted, frustrated, distracted. I just really need to figure things out asap so that I don't feel so hopeless and frustrated.
