Borrowed $56,000 Owe $84,000

I borrowed $56,000 for my education and my parents borrowed $52,000. They still owe the full $52K because they are only paying interest right now and I cant find a job that will allow me to live and pay for my student loans so the fees and interest keep piling up. I now over $84,000. I used to joke that I was going to have children just so when I died they could pay off my student loans. I will be paying these loans for the rest of my life.
