Also, I believe some schools/loan programs have loan forgiveness programs that operate to the extent you are doing various noble and poorly paying things.

What are the chances of finding employment as a lawyer? What are the chances said pay from said employment will allow servicing the debt?

Minneapolis is one such place. The person we're discussing is currently working as a health care shepherd for Russian-speaking refugees.

Thank you very much for your suggestions, Strangler Lewis. Loan forgiveness is a new concept to me.
