Good. Hope they starve and die. Buncha’ soft snowflakes of this generation. If you do not have the intelligence to make the logical decision to actually WORK part time like millions of college grads for the past 100 years, then you do not deserve a diploma.

I worked part time and paid off my tuition in less than 5 years PLUS I never asked any money from my parents. My mom was worried, even during graduation that she kept asking how I didnt ask them for any $$. i just said ‘ i did not want to burden you anymore..”

Good. "Hope they starve and die. Buncha’ soft snowflakes of this generation. If you do not have the intelligence to make the logical decision to actually WORK part time like millions of college grads for the past 100 years, then you do not deserve a diploma."

My mother put herself through college during the depression and was graduated with honors. She got room and board for working for a family doing basically everything in that home..

She worked as a secretary for the college for cash and spending money. Her parents paid the tuition and bought her books.

With that history, I would have been ashamed to ask my parents to fund my college. I started saving when I was 13. I bought a power lawn mower and a push edger. I had a job in a grocery store when I turned 16 and great summer jobs. I had over a dozen yards I did until I was graduated from high school.

There were all types of jobs available at college, and ones we could create, like teaching students how to play bridge, tutoring jocks and rich kids. Modeling/selling clothes at college and at home in the men's stores. I got paid in clothes.

I had dorm food the first two years. Then, my roommates and I shared food costs and cooking my junior year.

My senior year, I was the evening and weekend chef. My roommates bought stuff for dinner and lunches for the weekends which I prepared. They cleaned up the dishes..

Our dates loved to come over for weekend dinners from pizza from scratch to many things charcoaled. They would bring the beer or wine.

Sometimes, our landlord and/or lady would provide the food if I prepped and cooked it. They, also, helped in the prep and cleanup. I learned about wine with meals and the wine from them.

I finished my senior year with more money in my checking acct than when I started it.
