“From the moment I walk into the office I am making a difference in students’ lives. All the people I assist and secure back into repayment are put back on track to financial success...

If it wasn't for the daily recoveries by my staff and I, there would not be as much money available to new borrowers seeking higher education.”

“I help borrowers enter into satisfactory payment arrangements to help them meet their financial obligation of bringing their student loan out of default. This in turn, frees up financial resources that can be used for other eligible persons to realize their dream of being able to go to college. Sallie Mae is a wonderful company to work for, who not only cares about the employees that work there, but also for their families. We make people's dreams become a reality.”

In New York, jobs are on the line.

With the economy in the doldrums, it is getting harder and harder for people to find a job. But here in New York, there are well-paying jobs that are in jeopardy, and it is not because of the weak economy. Politicians in Washington D.C. are considering legislation that would make all student loans government run, which could take
hundreds of jobs out of New York.

We strongly support the President’s call for student loan reform. But we can achieve smart, effective reform that’s in the best interest of students, parents, and schools without sacrificing jobs here.
