At least according to the judge, the petitioner had to pass a few tests.
1. Good faith efforts to repay the loan.
2. Present lack of funds to pay.
3. Unlikely to be able to pay going forward.
A newly minted medical school graduate would not pass any of these tests execpt perhaps #2.
- jeffdavis 7y agoIn this case, the petitioner went to law school and simply decided being a lawyer wasn't for him. A medical school graduate could declare that they want to pursue a career in music, thus making them qualify for both #2 and #3. #1 perhaps not, but "good faith" is pretty squishy.
