Does he still currently gamble? If so, I'd have a talk with them about stopping it permanently or getting help if they have an addiction. Whatever you do, don't support their habit or give them any money ever. It'll just go right to the casino

Agreed. Seems to be an even bigger issue that they lied to you about it, but that's just me. Definitely get to the bottom of it and do not give them any money to help pay it back!

Or the promotion for the mid year already done?

Can someone please tell the details and when we can expect the new revised letter mentioning the new designation.

LCSW 50k loan repayment- Has anyone been granted a contract through the National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Program? I’m interested in applying for the 2 years of full time work as an LCSW but my loans are a bit under 50k so I’m wondering if they would only give me what I need to clear my loans or would I still get 50k as long as I complete my contract ?

I am 34 yo, i graduated with 95k in student loans, i currently have 85k left and i make 85k in come. I’m also a single mom with two kids. Just praying for 100% student loans forgiveness. Wishful thinking???
