Having student loans is an inevitability that most Americans, and almost every newly minted JD, will face. But it doesn’t have to spell the end of your dream practice if you know how to work around it.

Setting up shop while trying to pay off their loans is a massive financial burden that no one would want to deal with. As a result, people often postpone their dreams, get married, have kids, and then one day, realize that they’re nowhere near their initial goal. Well, that doesn’t necessarily have to be your reality, too.

Today, we’ll find out how you can manage to pay off your law school debt without having to kill your dreams with Travis Hornsby, a CFA professional and Founder of Student Loan Planner. We’ll help you change your perspective on student loans and discuss how you can start working on your practice even if you’re fresh out of law school.

Take one step closer to your goals by tuning in to this episode now.
