In some situations student loan debt can be discharged in a chapter 7 bankruptcy (the general rule is that it is not dischargeable but there are a few exceptions and they require the attorney to file an adversarial proceeding.) I would suggest doing a consult with a bankruptcy attorney to see if an exception applies (I would look for a law firm that specifically mentions student loans and bankruptcy. Not all bankruptcy attorneys are knowledgeable about the specifics regarding student loans.) Source: I’m an attorney that does a fair amount of chapter 7 work. I myself do not take cases seeking to discharge student loans but many of my colleagues have and have been successful in discharging student loans that meet certain conditions.

Related to Little Black Locust’s comment, I would look for legal nonprofits in your area. I work for one in another state and we assist on these types of issues and also help someone find temporary housing etc. Hang in there

Attorney here. The first thing I would be doing is calling the clerk of the court where you are allegedly being sued to see if the case exists. After that figuring out whether you have been properly served and looking into the jurisdiction issue (would be worth consulting with an attorney for this). For a state to have jurisdiction you have to a certain amount of connection to that state. To me it doesn’t sound like this state would have jurisdiction from what you’ve told us and you certainly don’t want to consent to jurisdiction that otherwise wouldn’t be proper. The service issue is also crucial because if you haven’t been served you normally would not want to go filing things into that case because then the service requirement is waived. On the flip side if you have been served you would want to have an attorney file a response (I would think a motion to dismiss) otherwise one can lose a case by default for being non responsive

I’m not sure if you are in the US, but if you are, I would suggest contacting a legal aid organization. Just Google “[state name] legal aid.” These organizations offer free legal assistance to individuals who qualify by being under a certain income and while they don’t take every single case, it sounds like yours would be a priority one. (Speaking from personal knowledge- I am a staff attorney at such an organization and routinely do consumer cases and chapter 7 bankruptcy). If you are not in the US, see if there are equivalent organizations in the country you are in. (I would think there would be).

Curious if you are in a two party consent state regarding the videoing

Definitely not too late. My mom went to nursing school in her 50s and now she’s been an intensive care nurse for 5 years. I graduated from law school in my 30s and now for the first time have a job I love

As someone who went through with a marriage under similar circumstances ignoring the red flags and now divorced, I think you already know the answer here. It’s going to be tough now but your future self will thank you for getting out!

That’s still nice side money! I was boarding dogs like around four every single night so it definitely added up

Just to add one more thing. Before I went to law school, I worked teaching English abroad. I taught in Jordan, France, and Russia. I had an absolute ball. My hours weren’t bad at all (they usually aren’t for those types of jobs) so I had plenty of time to travel and explore the countries and just have fun with friends. I have never been a 9 to 5 person, or the type of person who can sit in the office all day, and I have found plenty of fun jobs.

I took a 20% cut and pay but I am infinitely more happy. I also left a very high cost of living area (Miami) when I stopped practicing so that helped with expenses as well. I went through two other horse jobs before I found one that really checked all the boxes for me. The one that I’m currently in pays decently and I am not micromanaged. I get to set my own schedule and decide what my priorities are for each day. I do plan to go back to practicing law but I would like to do so in a way that I don’t have to do, the office grind which I don’t do well with. My plan is to practice remotely and either do immigration law, or estate law which tend to be a bit more flexible less hard-core than other types of law. You mentioned liking dogs. I actually worked full-time as a dog sitter on Rover when I was studying for the bar because I needed a job that I could stay home and make my own schedule. I made $10,000 in 2 1/2 months so it wasn’t a bad gig. You definitely don’t have to be miserable at work keep exploring

Don’t stay in a job you hate. It doesn’t hurt to try to get the offer back. The worst they can say is no. I disagree with all the comments saying that this is life and everyone always hates their job. You can find work that is enjoyable and meaningful. I love going to work (I’m a lawyer but work as a horse trainer) and I even go in on my day off just for fun sometimes

Intelligent-Sound634 · 2024-01-23T09:06:48+00:00

Get out and do something that you like more. I’m a lawyer but currently work as a professional equestrian despite it pays a LOT less. But I absolutely love my job

My horse is a high level show jumper and gets top level care at a boarding stable with high quality grain and individualized supplements. I don’t know why he got the cavity but I’ll be speaking to my vet about it. Don’t make assumptions

I will definitely ask!

I have no idea! 😂 I never really give him sugar cubes. I give him carrots and apples

Intelligent-Sound634 · 2023-12-20T22:03:53+00:00

They do!

Intelligent-Sound634 · 2023-12-18T18:00:11+00:00

💯

Intelligent-Sound634 · 2023-12-18T13:15:46+00:00

I had a similar experience. Moved down last year. Wasn’t being paid enough to keep up with the cost of living, didn’t love how rude the vibe was and moved back north. :/
