Some of the free rides are over, so what? Would be terrible to have to go to work to pay your way through college as my grandkids did.
Thats right !
Go out and get a Part Time Job, like a lot of us have done !
I preplained and helped my kids through college but both worked the whole time. Both even have offered to pay me back now that they are successful but I won't hear of that. Due to my income they couldn't have gotten government grants anyway. I get to pay for other people's kids instead.
Glad it's reduced but gone would be better.
There are government offices in every town and hamlet in the United States handing out college money for the really smart kids out there. There called RECRUITMENT OFFICES!
My Grandson's parents and Grandparents sacrificed and saved so he could attend college and he got a Master's.
We didnt look for handouts!
So the kids can't get grants. Almost any U.S. citizen can easily get loans for college so affordability shouldn't be an issue. Unless, of course, you major in Black Lesbian studies and learn that working at 7-11 doesn't pay enough to pay back the loans.
I told my kids college was theirs to earn.
option: work, loans, GI Bill or combination thereof.
90% of the college diplomas aren't worth the paper they're printed on any way.
