What makes Pitt "semi-public"? I'm not trying to be funny, I've just never heard of that.

Is there any way you can get loan forgiveness for working in the public good? Some of my sisters, who ended up about $150K in debt (from Columbia), were able to get part of their loan debt forgiven because of the kind of jobs they took on.

Jus realize that unless you are in about the top 20% of your class you are going to wait tables. For a really good job you need to be at the very least in the top 10%.

Several of my friends who recently got out of law school weren't in the top 20% of their classes who had no problem getting jobs at great firms (ie, Cravath, Proskauer, Paul Weiss). But, then again, they graduated from schools like Harvard, Yale, and Stanford.
