I might consider it for anyone who enlists in the military..

Those mechanisms pretty much already exist though

Depends on the specific job. I’m more fine with it for jobs that are otherwise hard to staff, dangerous, etc.

There is a reason it exists. It is incentive to take an otherwise less desirable job. You take away that incentive then

I think it’s a good incentive to have for what typically is lower paying jobs

Why not just take that money and pay higher salaries? More equitable.

It’s the same thing, and most people don’t want those jobs

No. raising salaries helps those with and without student loans.

Company (or Non-Profit) has nothing to do with repayment, the Government forgive

Yep. So the govt could effect higher salaries through tax cuts

Uhhh, theses are non profits that don’t pay (or pay very little) in taxes

I'll be eligible for loan forgiveness in several years. But by the time I reach 10 years

You're right it's not. By the time I'm eligible for loan forgiveness I'll have paid off as much as I borrowed in the

If I understand it correctly, this can’t happen. Federal loans are on a 10 year

My wife has a pretty well paying "government" job teaching at a university's

1/23/20 7:02pm

If you have a job that pays well then you'd typically have your loans paid off after the required 10 years of payments

Slim

My problem is the radiologist that makes $400k per year, but gets her loans

kos

The requirement for 120 payments in an amount dependent on income self selects out the very well paid

Slim

1/23/20 7:53pm

Yeah it's totally misunderstood. People just assume everyone's loans are paid for them.

There is an income cutoff.

You sound like you have zero idea how the program works...

I'd only be open to forgiveness of what went to pay tuition, books, or class fee
