The systemic effects of this are especially terrible in public defense. We PDs are, on a macro-level, far too white and well-heeled. And the salaries we get paid are prohibitively low for those who need to support others with their income.

To be clear, I’m highlighting a systemic problem. Not a me problem. Between PSLF and my school’s generous repayment assistance plan, I can afford a house and kids. But making public defense affordability contingent on access to a fancy school’s LRAP is deeply problematic.

LSAC shoulders a lot of blame. I went to their forums and I watched them give seminars on how to take out loans to pay for college. The rhetoric was to pick the best ranked school. If a tier 3 is free and a tier 1 is 150k of debt...tier 3 is a better choice for most students.

Worked three jobs to graduate college debt free. Agreed to work in a rural area for four years to defray cost of grad school but still had sizable debt. Worked a SECOND job 60 hrs a month for 10years after grad school to help pay off debt. Don’t regret any of it. Life isn’t easy

"I've suffered, so everyone else should do it as well" is a horrible mindset. You're in a very lucky minority of people able to pull that off both physically and have resources at hand to do so. You might not regret it, but that sacrifice shouldn't have to be the standard
