yea as someone who graduated in the summer, if career services had connected me to a 60k starting salary, even in GREENSBORO, i would have been over the moon. took me a few years and some pretty shit jobs to make that much. i didn't spend $350k (or even $100k for that matter) to go to wake, but still, this frustrates me to no end. i know we're a liberal arts school and all, but career services should be a primary function of the university!

Bro I don’t even make 60 grand right now.
 
Y'all don't even want to learn what college professors make. Hint: not much unless you're old or maybe a scientist
 
Someone tell Kory to come back so I’m not the poorest motherfucker on the boards.

First and foremost, paralegals do not have to be licensed. There's no paralegal school that's a requirement to being a paralegal.
If they do the job for 10 years, the $300,000 is entirely forgiven. Also, a paralegal in my office starts at like $60,000, and by the end of the 10 years is going to be making six figures in a LOCL city. Plus full Federal benefits.

How does this work? What happens if they don't have any student loans or any student loans left unpaid? Is it a vesting schedule that pays out $300K regardless?

pretty sure he's talking about the federal loan forgiveness program for people who work in certain careers for ten years and $300k is just using the number biff quoted

i didn't realize paralegals were an eligible career for this benefit
 
If the federal government is paying out $300K to colleges for people to become paralegals I think we have found the problem in this country.

Right, but how does this work for people with no loans? They just miss out on a massive windfall for (all things equal) doing the same amount of work?
 
2nding that Wake Career Services sucked the two(?) times I went to them for help, once during my senior year and once 6 months after graduating. The jist of what they told me is that I needed to know exactly what career or job that I wanted, and that I had to network in that particular field. Also they emailed me a bunch of resume formats.

You could focus on just one part of your 1000 responsibilities, come cut grass and make $40k in DC, never have to talk to a snot nose kid again

nah you still have to make payment on loans over ten years -- the balance is forgiven

but honestly, if you can go to school debt-free then no need to sweat somebody else's "windfall"

There's a pretty wide distribution that depends on a lot of factors.
