I was curious to get different takes on the program.<br /><br />I hate to tell you, but your taxes are not only paying for my tuition right now, but you're also paying my graduate student salary. It's a bit different, but still thought you'd like to know where your tax dollars are going. Thanks! ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04240460688302826009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31832835.post-7039080145089472002011-06-01T12:27:05.248-04:002011-06-01T12:27:05.248-04:00I'm not a fan.

Under the program that applies to me, if I remain employed in a public service legal job (legal aid, public defender, state's attorney's-type offices) for 10 years and make the applicable income-based payment, then the remainder of my loan is forgiven. The program was designed to keep people in the public sector, since many good attorneys simply could not afford to pass up a private firm job that pays more. Thankfully this program is available, otherwise I would not be financially able to work in the public sector at all!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08179284980609734367noreply@blogger.com
