Game Changer Walk-on

When do we get income based repayments on other loans we can't afford?

Thunder Buddy

It's a messed up system for sure. Government backing student loans meant schools could inflate tuition and other costs

This is not correct. There is loan forgiveness available for physicians after they make 120 qualifying payments

All of the alternatives you just provided are a better career than chiropractor.
