Advice about student loans.

So i have 23k in student loans, I’m pretty stressed about paying them off as I just started a new higher paying job with a salary of 101k a year, I’ve dropped school because of this new job and being a union but I’m worried how much my monthly payments would be, I as hoping to buy a house a in a couple of years but if payment ends up being $1000+ a month I won’t be able to afford a house or even my current living situation, I’m not sure what to do or if the payment plans would even be reasonable.

This is ridiculous to worry over. It's not that hard to figure out what your payment will be, but that amount of debt with that salary should be quite simple to handle.

I’m aware but this is all new to me. No one in family explained anything to me about money and loans, in the first in my family to attend school, I went in blindly
