Are these government loans? The only way you can get 10 yr forgiveness from a gov't loan is if you go into public sector or nonprofit work. Otherwise, forgiveness is only available for IBR, and is after 25 years, at which point you will have to pay income taxes on the portion of the principle forgiven. Also, once you are making 150k+, you will likely no longer qualify for IBR...
If it's not the federal program, you will likely still need to pay taxes on the forgiven portion of the loan (barring the passage of legislation to forgive that as well... it's been proposed several times).
Having said all that, I think you need to ask yourself several things:
-can I afford to make the standard payment?
-Am I OK with the ethics of paying less than I can afford?
-Do I really want this loan hanging around my neck any longer than absolutely necessary?
If I were to go into repayment tomorrow, on my current salary, I would have to enroll in the IBR (I expect to be making more when I actually start paying). But I could afford to pay more than what that payment would be, and I would most likely do so, because I personally feel that if I agreed to repay something, I should make every effort to do so. I'm also not particularly confident that the rules won't change some time in the next 25 years, and I really don't like debt. You may feel differently.
