Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in India

The scenario presented below describes two choices, either one of which can be supported on the basis of the information given. Write an essay considering both choices and argue for one against the other, based on the specified considerations and the facts provided. There is no �right� or �wrong� choice; a reasonable argument can be made for either.
Alice Anderson is a senior at John Paul Jones University. She has been offered two positions as a result of her outstanding record in her major, Television and Radio Broadcasting. One position is with WAND, and the other is with KBSC.
WAND is the only television station serving a large area located some 250 miles north of the capital of the state. The station has offered Alice a job as a reporter whose principal assignments would be to cover the activities of local governments, politics, and business. In addition to her assigned stories, Alice would have the opportunity to independently prepare stories for possible broadcast. Because the station is small, has a very stable staff, and has limited growth prospects, Alice's chances for advancement are not good. WAND's owner is a former network executive who purchased the station in order to get away from the pressures of broadcasting in major markets. Alice would get only a modest salary at WAND, and she would have to supplement her income with outside work.
KBSC is one of three television stations located in the state capital. The station has offered Alice a job as a production assistant in the news department. She would primarily do background research and check facts and sources for the producers and reporters. Production assistants who work hard are promoted to positions as special assignment reporters in about two years. There are many special assignment reporters competing for assignments, most of which involve covering minor events such as political dinners, award ceremonies, and concerts, and writing human-interest stories. Most special assignment reporters spend at least five years covering minor events before moving into a position as a general report-anchorperson. KBSC would pay Alice a salary in excess of the amount she would need to live comfortably in the city.
As her counselor, you are to write an argument favoring one of the two offers. Two principal considerations should guide your decision:
1. Alice has a large student loan debt that she has to begin to repay immediately upon graduation.

Unless the student loan terms are studied in detail, it will be useless to give an argument in support of either job. [email protected]
