if you go online, search for IBR calculator on google. click on one of the links and input your information (loan amount, interest rate, starting salary).
as a GD right out of school in the tri state (ny/nj/philly pa area) area there's a slim chance that you can make enough to pay off a 300k+ loan in 7-8 years if you live on your own. It's really not feasible. i'd prob say more like 10-15 if you're smart about it. The job market in the area is terrible. You'll be lucky to get consistent per-diem gigs at different offices.
If you specialize that's another story, however
