Compressor bearings or internals are shot...........
sadly he is probably right - the loud squealing you hear is most likely either the sound of your a/c belt trying to turn a sticking or siezed compressor - OR the a/c clutch is broken and not freewheeling. If you dont remove the belt right away it will just break in a few more miles.

maybe it is just the a/c clutch (the a/c clutch is the pulley part that the belt turns. It is supposed to freewheel when the a/c is OFF and to lock up and turn the compressor when the a/c is ON. ) But either way, remove the belt now or just cut it off, chances are it is no good anymore and it will be getting replaced along with the other parts, when you find out what the problem is.
