I wonder, why didn’t she figure out a way to train for a job as a nurse, or perhaps take a course in SOMETHING. She could have applied for grants and gotten coursework and then ended up trained in a good job. Then she would have been making more and would have been easily comfortable in no time.
Could be that her brain is fried on drugs...because that makes perfect sense to me. There are a lot of other skills you can learn outside of college like court recording that provide a decent income.
