Student Loan Forgiveness: Is Travel The Answer?

Student loan forgiveness is on the horizon, with experts saying that President Joe Biden might cancel student loans for more than 40 million Americans any day now, erasing debt balances averaging over $37,000.

But what if you don’t qualify? Or what if it doesn’t happen?

Working remote and traveling might be the answer. Lucky for you, many companies recognize that their employees need help repaying student loan debt—along with the fact that many people want to work from home or work and travel.

FlexJobs—a job-search search site that specializes in flexible and remote employment—had identified 30 companies that provide student loan repayment assistance and hire for remote jobs. This means you can travel the world, earn money and not have to worry about student loans.

Many of the companies on the FlexJobs list offer student loan support via a monthly payment to people who are currently repaying debt. Other companies provide yearly contributions applied towards student loans (or even a 401k).

The level of student loan forgiveness usually depends on whether the employee has full-time or part-time status.
