  9. Yes... you do still owe the money. It is detailed in the contract that there is NO GUARANTEE of employment...and that the contract does not afford the signee "placement". The signee is required to...

  14. I work for this hospital system, I have this same contract. DO NOT break it. Not only will you owe the 9,000 dollars but you will owe them immediately. They will enforce the debt immediately so...
