how true!
when my daughter was looking for help to go to school, it was a no go, as she is white, single without children, and knows who her parents are.
Have her get certifications and then she can get a solid job and work her way through school.
We certainly weren't living high on the horse at the time, either. He drove a 1978 Plymouth Volare, mom drove a 1989 Chevy Caprice, and I had my 1985 Mercury Lynx...nothing fancy by any means. Either way, that ended up forcing me to work my way through school (a decision I don't regret).
