How does the work life balance compare to your previous job? Do you work more hours now?

How much money do you make on average? Say a bracket, i.e. 60-75k

Yes. There's online calculators, I like cnn money student loan calculator that can show you payoff scenarios that you can change with payoff amounts like 300,400,500 a month etc. the calculator now shows that if you pay off 14,000 at 300 a month payment with 7% interest, you would save about 2400 in interest. if you have a stable job currently and are ok with the lack of funds in your account I would recommend hitting it entirely or say 11000 and paying the rest off over the year.

The one caveat is that you can deduct some interest in your taxes if you qualify. On mobile so I don't remember the rules. I'd recommend investigating this.
