"Meet a first-generation attorney with $347,000 in student debt who can't land a job and says 'there are a substantial number of people like me that are being forgotten'"

Unlike medical schools, there are many law schools with 50% 60% 70% acceptance rate.
Good luck with the degree.

Sounds like a problem unique to him

"But after graduating from law school in 2017, Pederzani today has $347,000 in student debt that keeps growing. He took out graduate PLUS loans to attend Seattle University School of Law, which allowed him to cover the full cost of tuition, but medical complications with his fiancée delayed him from taking the bar exam, and their collective incomes took a major hit since his fiancée could not work.
...
As a result, Pederzani could no longer afford Seattle rent so he temporarily moved to Nebraska to live with his fiancée's family. They now live in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where Pederzani took and passed the bar exam, and they're currently using rental assistance and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Graduate PLUS loans — the type of loan Pederzani took out — are the most expensive type of federal loan with the highest interest rate, now at 7.54%. "

He went to a the 114th ranked law school and then had to move to a city where there isn't an alumni base and take the bar late pulling him out of traditional recruiting cycles. [/quote]
