There is a program - I think it's called something like "Teach for America" - that either reduces or completely pays for college loans for people who enroll in the program and teach for 2-3ish years.

My student loan interest was 8.9% in 1997 after consolidation with Sallie Mae. Another DVM I work with who graduated in 92 had an interest rate over 11%. I would have been very very happy with a 2-3% interest rate.

I thought interest rates were now 6.8% no matter what. Is this incorrect?
