Now you have to be able to get the job you want...
Unfortunately for you, most places don't just hire you because you "really want to work here!" They require you to have some kind of credentials to work for them. Most often the credential they are looking for is a college degree of some sort.
So, now that you know what job you want, do a little research and find out what kind of degree or other credentials are required to get that job. Do you need a 4 year Bachelor's degree, a Master's Degree, or just a 2 year Associates Degree?
Using a search engine or Naviance, try to find a college in the state of Texas that offers the degree you are looking for. You should then be able to find statistics on that college, such as the average annual tuition for an Undergraduate (Bachelors) or Graduate (Master's) student.
Most Bachelor's degrees take about 4 years to complete, provided you don't have to repeat a bunch of classes due to failing. Most Master's degrees and Associate's Degrees take about 2 years to complete.
Once you have figured up your overall tuition, you are going to need to defer your payments due to being unable to find your dream job right away. Darn economy! The government tells you the rate for paying back your student loans and for the deferment will be 4.6%.
You will also need to calculate what your payments will be once you finally start repaying those loans you just deferred. Use the link below to calculate your monthly payments when repaying your loans over 10, 20, and 30 year periods.
