I’ll point out that tuition per year at SJ State University is around $5,472 and fees at $1,900. Extremely low.
Oh, for heavens sake, get a roommate.
I hate it for her but she’s an example that not everyone needs to be chasing more college degrees. She certainly cannot justify the $143,000 she ran up in student loans.
And I believe she would be better off just getting a regular school teaching job. With that and her husband getting some type of a job, they could do a lot better.

In 2015, she made $26,394.00 and in 2014 she made $14,700. Need more details/past history to figure how she got where she is.
Yeah.
It’s a part time job.
And there’s cheap rent 1/2 hour away.
Well, I don’t know. The numbers are all there. She’s 50 and never got anywhere. It’s a cruel world.
Ping
There is something more to her alleged story than what the article is reporting to us.
I would like to know more about what her husband does. I have friends that have to travel and do things they don’t like to make an income. What’s his story? There are jobs out there. I can assure you there will be plenty of jobs in Houston for the next few years after Hurricane Harvey.
I find this hard to believe. If true,there may be some reason why she can’t rent a bedroom for her self and her husband to stay in. Does she have disruptive habits, customs, or personal requirements? Is she extremely picky or prone to arguments when not getting her way? Does she or the husband have substance abuse issues?
I find it hard to believe a University would hire someone in such a financially fragile state. When one is desperate, their mind is not on the students.
Yep I thought of that too.
I can’t believe she sees no alternatives. Living with roommates is one solution. Many of us have done that. Not our first choice, but a choice if you can’t afford to live alone.
Also, they note how she can’t afford rent in the “South Bay”. I’m not familiar with the Bay Area, but is that an upscale area?
I bet there’s more to their story, but also, seems to me, there are alternatives such as the roommate concept, which they could look into. They prefer to live in their car rather than share rent with a roommate?
Do her husband and dogs sleep in the car?
Meanwhile, UC California President Janet Napolitano drags in $570,000 per year. Hey libtard Janet, share the wealth!
You forgot "stupid".
And that fits in this case.
I really don’t know what to say. Other than, were I in her situation, I’d looking at sharing rent with one or two responsible post-grad/non-trad students. She could probably get a gig house-sitting for someone, through university connections.
The best graduation gift you can give your kids is no student loan debt. Just pay the damned tuition. My daughter graduated from college two years ago, makes $28K per year, and just bought her first home. She rides mass transit and could not justify a car expense when living in a large city.
I just saw the video of her speaking, and I still don’t know if that’s the whole story. Where is her husband? Is he fully disabled? Why is he not working ? Where were her two dogs?
Final question; Why is she going public now in such a big way? Is she trying to shame the college into paying more?
Is this how she negotiates a raise?
A woman living virtually alone in her car is not something most women would publicize so openly. Not very smart, Madame Professor. Now everyone knows where to find you during the night.
