The National Consumer Law Center and the Project on Student Debt have launched a joint website that offerers information for student borrowers who are behind on their loans, or those who just want to learn more about their options.

In only a few clicks we learned something that we didn’t know: Some states will suspend your professional or vocational license if you default on your student debt. Some professions that may be affected: Attorneys, health care professionals, teachers, insurance professionals, state officers, and commercial fishermen.

This looks like a great resource.
