Default Re: Give advice to a university graduate

Meh... that debt is hardly anything when compared to the starting salary as an engineer (IIRC engineers have one of the highest out of university salaries).

I'd say work in engineering for a year or two, you should be able to wipe a significant portion of that loan off in that time (if you live fairly frugally), then you can travel. Or you could travel first, it really doesn't matter. Unless your loans are interest bearing (here in NZ they're interest free), in which case it's probably better to pay them off sooner rather than later.
