I'm finally graduating tomorrow!

Gotta pay back the loan I got, so I'll be working on that first (it was a 40% grant so I just gotta pay 60% back). Doing post-completion OPT (I'm in a STEM major, but no job yet sadly), then going back home for a bit to pay the rest off. Then... probably coming back to the US somehow. I haven't thought that far ahead. :I

Excellent idea paying the loan off. If you're going IT you should have more jobs available than with my bachelor's too. :p

All I can say is make sure you have a plan. Know what you want to do, and be sure that is what you want to be doing for the rest of your life (within reason, of course).
