I’m not getting that the noose isn’t chafing a bit. I’m getting that he is making the financially rational decision based on the available options. You say you couldn’t do that, but what would you do in his position? If his debt can’t be discharged in bankruptcy, and a highly paid more interesting job opportunity doesn’t present itself his range of alternatives would seem to be fairly limited.
