They Thought They Qualified for Student Loan Forgiveness.

The possibility of this has always made me wary of these kinds of agreements, now I see that caution is justified.

Hundreds of thousands of people with piles of federal student loan debt had not been too concerned because they were counting on a federal government program that would forgive those loans if they worked at least 10 years in a public service job.

But what happens if the definition of “public service” seemed to change midway through that decade?
