For those with the white man's slave chains of student loans...whats yours looking like???

[Wild self]

No dispute here. Had a sorta, former mentor compare his tuition to what I'll be paying and it's no contest. I'd rather focus on what is than what was though. I gotta attempt it.

Yeah, and at some point, you gotta fight back.

Most def. Gotta get outta the boat before I can walk in water though. Best believe my kids won't go through it.

there is student loan relief even for those in default on the dept of education website.

... How does that work? I'm on IBR too and have about the same amount .

Well generally, IBR loans are forgiven after 25 years, but for certain forms of employment its 10.

What kinds of employment qualify?

Qualifying employment is any employment with a federal, state, or local government agency, entity, or organization or a not-for-profit organization that has been designated as tax-exempt by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The type or nature of employment with the organization does not matter for PSLF purposes. Additionally, the type of services that these public service organizations provide does not matter for PSLF purposes.

A private not-for-profit employer that is not a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRC may be a qualifying public service organization if it provides certain specified public services. These services include emergency management, military service, public safety, or law enforcement services; public health services; public education or public library services; school library and other school-based services; public interest law services; early childhood education; public service for individuals with disabilities and the elderly. The organization must not be a labor union or a partisan political organization.
