It is simply not possible now to work one's way through college, and all the "I walked to school uphill both ways" stories won't change that. But I don't blame the young people, I blame the professors and administrators of the tax-supported institutions that rip these young people off.
In state at the local community state college is about $4000 per year, straight tuition. With books let’s call it $5000.
If a person makes $10/hr, and works full time in the summer, they can pay for that, live with a roomate, and eat.
It ain’t Ivy League, and it ain’t a sweet dorm, but its a degree.
The sick little secret of it all is that jobs on campus go to ‘certain’ kids first. It’s all rigged, so thankful my kids are done with the zoo.
I pity the kids heading there now. The amount of money paid to administrators is obscene. The waste the goes into assorted crap, is obscene.
The costs go higher, the loans get bigger, and the money is funneled back into the dem coffers by lib institutions of higher learning.
