:roll: So people that have been working at lower paying jobs than they could get in the private, for profit sector for YEARS in order to be eligible for loan forgiveness should just be told to kick rocks?  [/quote]

I dont believe workers claiming they could make so much more in the private sector. Why don't they and pay off their loans then?[/b] [/quote]

I am OP. I am a career government attorney making 105k. I could be making triple that in the private sector, but I wanted to work in public service.[/quote]

Haha but do many unemployed crappy attorneys get picked up by the government[/quote]

Seriously.  They're not good at what they do and they do it for the lifestyle benefits.  Snow days, a straight forward 9-5, no clients, nice pension, great healthcare benefits, federal holidays, and so on...

I wouldn't put some random HHS employee who works from home three days per week in Reston for $80,000/year on par with a physician who chooses a lower salary to serve in a rural area.  While it might make sense for the latter person to have some sort of loan forgiveness, the former is probably just a loser.  While there are some employees (especially some SEC folks) who could absolutely out-earn their fed jobs at the drop of a hat, that isn't the case for many.[/quote]

+1 These feds need to quit pretending that they took on all that education debt for the sole purpose of going into public service. They just ended up taking the easier job for the lifestyle benefits and now they want to catch an additional break on their student loans for it. Unreal.[/quote]

Yep. All these highly marketable Feds seem awfully panicked about having to earn a higher salary in the private sector. [/quote]

Who is expressing panic?lol You've just created a scenario in your head.[/quote]
