unknown realizations

I have been thinking about the future and it's frightening. I was talking to a friend of mine and he just graduated and he is working at minimum wage job. In a year and 6 months I will be graduating. I'm so excited, and yet scared out of my mind. I have taken out loans this year and I will be next year and soon after graduation all of us have to start paying them back. I'm scared mostly because i have heard that it's hard to get a job in my field. I want to be able to get a decent job and not be totally poor and have to live with my parents. I know that is what everyone wants but still. I'm sure everyone is feeling the same but I had to but it out there.
