Ever notice in life how everything is intertwined? Example:A lot of our local mail carriers and postal employees have college degrees,even though their jobs do not require such(in most cases).The majority of those specific employees have outstanding college loan debt.One has to wonder.Did that debt in any way factor in with their getting hired?It should'nt have,but in reality I'll bet it factored in heavily.Federal agencies favor hiring those with student loan debt so much so that another applicant without a degree and without student loan debt hardly has a chance.My point is that this conflict of interest creates an unfair hiring practice.
