I had a business scholarship from high school in 1972 but Dad didn’t believe in girls going to college, so I had to let it go. I waited until my 50’s to go to college. I did it partly through employer tuition reimbursement and part myself. They paid tuition if I made good grades, but I had to buy my books and other materials. I got through it without any debt and a 4.0 GPA.

I didn’t go to an Ivy League school, and the company had to approve my courses, but I went.

Bunch of crybaby elitist spoiled brats.

Democrat: “Bunch of crybaby elitist spoiled brats.”

Should be used in all dictionaries.

Impressive! See my Post #125.

My Mom went to school at age 40 to become an X-Ray Tech. *I* paid for her tuition and books. She paid me back after she landed a really good job with a local hospital right after her graduation. She worked for them until she was well past the age to retire - they kept throwing gobs of money at her to stay, LOL!

Yep. These things CAN be accomplished with a desire, hard work, AND no hands in the Taxpayers’ pockets!
