Yeah, this is not the hill to die on. Lots of doctors and pharmacists take advantage of this. My wife is a director of pharmacy for a for-profit hospital that just got bought by a bigger hospital group that is non-profit. Now her younger pharmacists that have lots of debt can work for 10 years with the new hospital and get $100k forgiven. Unfortunately, pharmacy school is expensive as frick and it’s not uncommon for some to graduate with over $200k of debt.

Well then tough shite. Maybe they should have gone to trade school. No one forced them to go into debt to “follow their dream.

which they chose, all on their own, to borrow. No one forced them to go to pharmacy school. I would never demand that someone else pay off my loans for me because I just didn't feel like honoring my committment. That kind of thinking is parasitic and provides no value to society.

Idk how they are going to continue to get people to go to pharmacy school. Used to it was just a BS degree that could be done relatively quickly. Now the pharm D takes too long and too much time.

Doesn’t make it ANY LESS WRONG from an ethical standpoint.
