Debt Kills Legal Career

Should student loans prevent someone from getting a law license? The NY Times has an interesting story about a guy who owes $400,000 on his student loans. After finally passing the part on his fourth attempt, he did not get his law license after all. The New York Bar decided he was unfit to practice law.

My Thoughts:

1. Sallie Mae is a nightmare to deal with – I feel his pain;
   
2. Problems with the lender do not prevent someone from making "ANY" payments towards his loan. I smell a rat.
