I majored in history at UNC and paid off my $26,000 in student loans with my first commission check from my first sales job.

One's major and even one's skills are not an accurate predictor of ability to pay back loans. It is entirely a question of persuading other people to pay you lots of money quickly, and the requisite amount of luck it takes to find such a person quickly.
