I agree. We're not arguing here, being on the same side, right?
And again, that is what I tell those students who fall into those cracks...and if it's what they really want, and they are not just looking for a free ride, they WILL do it. But it has to suck, no, to watch garage kid? I see garage kid every day, as well as Flo Glow.
And I see you. I commisserate with you, I urge you to write to your congressman, I try to help you look for scholarships, I explain the loan process in painstaking terms. I exhaust all possibilities with you because I am unable to change the system...though I do get the rare opportunity to make my voice heard.
No system is completely fair. All I am saying is we have a definite population in this country which gets shit on from ALL sides.
(And I worked and borrowed my way through college as well.)
