Mods, If this is not appropriate here, please accept my apologies and delete, but I thought some would get a kick out of this. This girl, if she is serious, could be the poster child for liberalism. God forbid she should work for her eductaion or take a loan and pay later. No, she wants some sugar daddy to pay for he education.
You have the unique opportunity to bid on my education. YES! YOU CAN pay for my law school education through this once in a lifetime deal! What will you receive?

If you bid in the next 7 days, I will subtract the $10,000 scholarship I received ASKING PRICE: $39700 * three years = $119100 Fine Print: If interested, you can feel free to pay off the $40000 in loans I took out to pay for my undergraduate degree at NYU.

And I will pay for it with 1191 photocopies of a $100 bill.
I've always thought Americans are the greatest promoters on earth. I feel this woman is small scale proof of my perceptions. She's no doubt heard of frequent benefactors and foundations who have money to give away and is using the system from eBAY to the top possibilities to bring her aspirations to fruition.... BUT with a welfare mentality approach - and do you know the sad reality? Her chances in America for her proposition are much much greater than winning lotto, which people actually pay for.
I'm a high school dropout and my opinions on higher education and what it's producing of late, particularly out of the humanities streams is better left unsaid. I see a lot of merit in nobody being able to enter university education until they've done a year first in something like retail, office work, restaurant or factory employment - you name it. They should have some experience in earning, paying tax and living in the real world.
This young woman has quite possibly, without knowing, provided fodder for "The Onion" by posting this effort on eBAY.
I'd wish her well in her endeavours, as long as she chooses something other than law and to pay for whatever her choice is all by herself. That's the ultimate education.
If she were on the left, she'd be demanding that it be paid for her. She's just asking, rather politely.
