68,000 is not a huge amount of debt for a law student to incur. you can send a person to school but you can’t make them think. There must be more to this story.

Usurious student loans are criminal.

You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the Eternal God, I will rout you out… If people only understood the rank injustice of the money and banking system, there would be a revolution by morning.

Andrew Jackson,seventh President of the U.S.

68,000 is not a huge amount of debt for a law student to incur. With 11 years practicing law to pay it back? It seems strange that he had such a hard time over a decade to whittle down an average amount of debt. There must be more to this story.

Haven’t read the story but the title reminds me of when I was a student loan collector and some of the silly excuses people gave for not paying. My favorite was “Why should I pay it back, I didn’t learn anything? I was having a bad day and told her “To paraphrase an old saying, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink – you can send a person to school but you can’t make them THINK.”

I’ll bet he wins his appeal – on the grounds that the court needed to have more than a theoretical future “possibility” of professional turpitude to strip him of his livelihood.

Only 27% of law students have between 40,000 and 70,000 in student debt? Yeesh must be even more silver spoons then I thought out there.

He still should be able to pay back 67,000. I have more student debt than that.

I never thought I’d see the day. Poor man, all that hard work in law school leads down to this? I guess he’ll just have to start anew and never forget the lesson learned: mind your finances. ALWAYS.
