The New York Times has published this story here, , regarding a lawyer who overcame adversity to finish law school but is now blocked from the bar due to his $400,000 student loan debt.
There's a lot I could say here, but allow me to go with a contrarian opinion: perhaps articles like these do the student debt movement a disservice, because it is extremely rare to find someone with $400,000 in student loan debt. These kinds of articles give ammunition to those who falsely say that student loan debt should be ignored becaise it is an isolated problem, affecting few people. Perhaps we need more articles about the common everyday average student loan debt that still manages to wreck lives.
