Lawyers: Does this actually work?

[MichaelDavis]

"Lawyers are trained to exploit the letter of the law on behalf of their clients. How we feel about that usually depends on whose side of the case the lawyers are on. Now one of the nation's leading law schools is exploiting a huge loophole in federal financial-aid law, and taxpayers are clearly on the losing side. If other schools catch on, the result could be an undeserved bonanza for wealthy lawyers and expensive law schools even as other federal-aid programs, like Pell Grants, face looming budget cliffs."

What a skewed and polemic piece. No one joins takes a Federal job to be wealthy. Average entry level government attorney job is at the GS-11 pay grade. Current GS-11 step 1 salary is $50k. And assuming no promotions, it would take 12 years to reach GS-11 step 10. Loan forgiveness is an important recruiting and retention tool for public service jobs.

This idiot is of the opinion that "public service" jobs are a good thing...:confused:

Georgetown loses little if any money from this scheme because the school simply includes the cost of the loan-repayment program in its tuition. And since the federal government issues loans for whatever amount Georgetown charges, students just take out more loans to cover that cost.

And people wonder why college costs so much.
