No. No. No. Read what you just wrote and think about the analysis of the next few years, and the state of the world and USA economies.
Do not pay off your student loans whether they be Perkins, Sallie Mae, or Private. The first two are probably capped.

Hang on to all the money you can and invest in stuff that will stand up to the inflation that's ahead! The way things are going you will be able to pay off your student loans with cheap dollars at a later date. Certainly you can make more with that money than the interest rate you are/will be paying.

Continue in school until you reach a PHD or LL.M. level. As long as they will lend...just keep taking the money and get the best education you can.

I'll bill you later for the advice!!
