Another group of people that feel like the taxpayers owe them a free ride. Ever hear of personal responsibility and doing things for yourself? I have two college degrees and I paid for them myself - no student loans or any of that nonsense. I did it the old fashioned way. Worked and went to school.
I gather you went to school a long time ago because unless you come from an exceptionally wealthy family, doing what you did is virtually impossible today. I got my Bachelor's and my MBA both while I was working full time and there was no way I could have paid for them without college loan assistance. Tuition today has simply gotten too expensive. Even community college is becoming less affordable.
Have to disagree. Anything is possible if you want it to happen and are willing to work hard to make it happen. You sound just like the same crowd that wants something for nothing. There is no reason why a person cannot work his or her way through college unless attending all the parties is more important than a pay as you go deal that you foot yourself. My father told me that as I grew older there were two things that he did not owe me as a parent. A car and a college education. He said if you want them, you'll have to work hard and earn them yourself. We need more of that in today's world.
