Company: AES/PHEAA (NC)

I went to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and took out a Federal loan thinking this was the best for my education. Like all schools, I had an admission rep and he gave a great sales pitch and told me how wonderful the school is and how I would be GUARANTEED a job after graduating. The admissions rep was sure to talk up how it was a strong name in the industry, world renowned, had some of the best award winning faculty, and that they didnt have open enrollment in the past and they made us present a portfolio of images and write a short page-long essay as to why I should be accepted into the Institute, something I thought as very cool but also extremely intimidating. Later I realized I had never heard of anyone being denied who applied to the school. Seemed like everyone who applied to XXXX got in... isnt that open enrollment? We were also told several times that XXXX had a 90 % graduation rate, and graduates got help with job placement before they were even done with school to ensure the 100 % job placement.. He told me that most graduates were already working jobs they had been placed in prior to graduation, and on average are making {$100000.00} per year or so after school ( the median income of the photography field is {$24000.00} a year ) ... this was in XXXX. I was really into XXXX XXXX at the time and thought that maybe was a direction I wanted to head. He told me that XXXX would propel me into the career of my dreams. We were told that a number of XXXX graduates were working for XXXX XXXX, and that frequently XXXX XXXX and other highly accredited publications would come in and pick and choose people to hire from graduating classes.The admissions rep made it seem like XXXX really had it together and really helped its students obtain jobs and figure their lives out, and for me, thats really what I needed to hear. 
I worked the plan. I went to XXXX, I graduated but in XXXX when that happened I did not have a job in photography as promised, I however had debt and was surrounded by thousands of people who never went to school and now claim to be a photographer with a newly introduced " digital camera '' .I couldn't get a job as a photographer because now any regular XXXX can be a photographer and charge {$20.00} - I wasn't told to do this, we were taught how to invoice and invoice at a proper price limit. XXXX, I have to pay my student loans.Fast forward to XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Closes and I still have student debt for a now closed school.Fast forward to Sweets vs XXXX where I am a Full class member " Although the final implementation deadline for the Sweet v. XXXX settlement has now passed, many borrowers have not received student loan forgiveness and other relief that they are entitled to under the court-approved agreement. The XXXX Department has materially breached Paragraph IV. '' Something needs to be done about this. 
How is it that a XXXX has forced the hand to have my loans forgiven and still nothing is happening. Are we not rich enough, large enough for it to matter. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX Please help.
