Payments

elsewhere during the summer to
offset some of the costs of the
school year.
“During the summertime I’d
like to go to [Washington], D.C.,
and work for the Natural Re
source Defense Council, the EPA
or Congress,” Erwin said. “Basi
cally, whatever I can get.”
Erwin said that the impending
debt would have an effect on his
career choice, limiting him from
taking jobs that wouldn’t provide
enough income to pay off his
monthly loans on top of his other
bills.
Nevada resident Jason Guinas
so is the rare exception to the av
erage beginning law student. He
and his wife — an attorney for the
Nevada Legislature — will cover
the costs then selves.
Guinasso was fortunate to re
ceive a substantial sum from his
father-in-law for the purpose of
law school and will pay for the re
mainder of the costs of school
with money he and his wife have
saved in the past few years.
“It makes things tight but at
least afterwards I won’t have a lot
of debt,” Guinasso said.
While Guinasso studies here in
Oregon, his wife will return with
their 4-year-old son to Nevada.
During the summer, he plans to
utilize his contacts in the legal
arena and return home to Nevada
to work.
