Thanks Sam, I’ve been working in the IT field since high school, but who knows if that is the path I will stay on, regardless of my degree. You have to follow your current passion, right? And great advice, thanks!

Excellent insight for students about to graduate Jesse. Good luck in whatever path you choose. Just remember to get in first and leave last for at least the first year!

Jerry, thank you. I couldn’t imagine the load medical debt could bring into a new household. The website I listed in this post, IBRInfo.org, actually has information about the 10 year debt forgiveness as well for employees of non-profits and public service careers. Congrats to your child, and good luck.

Jesse- Great blog. As a parent of a graduating medical student, I see huge future Stafford debt service that can be lessened with IBR. Also, does anyone have details or websites for debt forgiveness after 10 years of both IBR and employment with a 501c non-profit? thanks, jerry

For sure, Tech. I have been teetering back and forth about actually applying for IBR on my loans, but I think I will go for it. I just got an estimated bill, and there’s no way I can pay the amount they want without IBR helping me out, though I will be payintg more than IBR suggests. Man, school is expensive..
