Abasket- she will graduate with a double major in International Relations and Spanish. She is working on a prisoners rights project. Reviews and responds to correspondence from prisoners requesting help from this organization. DC jails are run by the feds so she is dealing with clients all over the country. Actually she went to prison last week to interview an inmate. (Trust me…not a mother’s dream.) She actually translated some prison related manual info into Spanish today! Very interesting stuff with opportunities for her daily activities to change a little bit of someone’s life.

UC dad-- this big time (my description- not his I am sure) lawyer works for a NON PROFIT. As in, only exists because of donations and lots of lawyers doing pro bono work. So I am thinking those 6 figure salaries are not his. If I misquoted his #'s I’m sorry…but it hardly matters. Where I come from $150,000 in loans is a lot of money. That is a house in most parts of the country. And that will take time to pay back.

And I respectfully disagree…debt is always relevant.
