  1. Got find a job first, then it depends on how you want to handle these. As for credit card and medical bills..... if you can work out a payment plan with them, that will be great to do it in installments..... and ask them to lower interest. (Very very bad way to do it, it wait for them to "settle" with you.... go check out the credit settlement online, but this is bad for your credit for 7 years). Not sure whern you are the private student loan from... so work out with the private party. I don't think you can do much with federal student loan :-(
  2. First I don't know what line of work or career your looking for but you may not be able to consolidate all these debts together. Look at the financial companies you have your student loans with. You maybe able to put those together. But they would be the last ones to be payed off, only because the interest is the lowest not because the balance is the highest. You want to pay your credit card off first. After it's payed off, then take that payment and add it to your medical payment. Once your meds are payed go after your student loans. I've helped others do this plan and they are in their 40s. Don't let that happen to you. AS you do this start putting money away even if it's only $25 a month or try 10% of your ernings. 3% in an emergence acct., 3% in a long term to buy that new what ever and 3% for retirement , 1% for fun. As your income grows so will your saving habits.
  3. Practically any type of loan can be wrapped into the debt consolidation process. Common types include finance charges, late fees and overdraft charges, credit cards, personal loans, utility bills, medical bills, car loans, store cards, gas cards and back taxes. A debt consolidation loan<!--allows you to condense your monthly payments into a single, simple bill, while lowering your interest rates and helping you pay down your debts more quickly and easily. It is also an essential tool in avoiding the much more serious step of declaring bankruptcy. http://best-loans.awardspace.com/Loan-Consolidation.htm Unlike bankruptcy, in which debts are cancelled and your credit rating collapses completely, debt consolidation loans are essentially a type of refinancing, where several-->old loans are replaced with a new one that has more favorable terms. Your loan consultant will negotiate with creditors on your behalf, so you’ll no longer have to deal with harassing phone calls and daily mail.
