If you get a job paying $35,000 per year (not uncommon with a university degree), then you should be able to pay this off in, say, four years.
According to your profile, you were born in 1987. So you should be free of your student debt (if you finish your education by 2010) by the time you're 27 years old.
After that, you will continue to enjoy the substantial earning potential that a university degree affords you.
