Exactly. What would Biden say? "Come on, man!" I spent six years enlisted in the US Navy out of high school during the 80's (read - no GI bill then) because I couldn't afford college, nor could my parental units. They said, "you want to go to college, you figure it out", much like when I wanted to buy that hopped up Gran Torino Sport…

They said, "you want to go to college, you figure it out", much like when I wanted to buy that hopped up Gran Torino Sport in high school and they said, "you want that car, you pay for it and btw, don't forget gas and insurance." Never did get that car, ended up with a perfectly OKAY 12 year old VW beetle that had a clunky trans.
Got out of the Navy with a wife and a 3 year old in tow, worked third shift (that's 11am - 7am, for you folks that don't know those hours exist on the dial of a clock other than for partying) for three years DURING school so I wouldn't have any debt. During holidays, worked for UPS loading/unloading packages. Wife was an assistant to the assistant to the assistant of something or other at an insurance firm, so we struggled to say the least.
Sure, I wasn't part of a frat, didn't have a traditional "college" experience, but nonetheless, finished. No loans, no grants. Come on, man ... figure it out. Can't afford it, don't go. Get a degree that is worth something in the market place. Come on, man!
Oh, and as to 3 year old kid? He came to me one day and said, "dad, I want to go to college" I said, "good for you and good luck with that." His sister, the same. She spent three years in the Peace Corps, got some kind of grant thru that service to help pay for her degree. Point is, they both have somehow figured it out, finished and are productive members of society.
Again, bottom line - can't afford it, don't go, do something else for a while. A college degree is NOT a right! Come on, man...
lol check it out it's the "guy who made it who has a lil advice for all you whiners" bit. yeah man I'm sure the reason you made it through is just due to common sense and a lil bit of the old elbow grease. it's so easy, why can't the rest of you losers figure it out? still a classic bit, even in this day and age
