"While MyBankTracker does not condone the use of these extreme measures, it's interesting to see the percentage of respondents who would resort to them—it shows there are plenty of people who strive to erase their student loan debt as soon as possible," the survey said.

Total student loan debt in the U.S. totals over $1.3 trillion and exceeded total credit card debt for the first time in 2010.

MyBankTracker.com surveyed 200 of its site's readers between July 14 and Aug. 7.
