A 57 year old man mentioned to me something called a “low income education grant”. Is there such a thing? I don’t know if he was joking. I know this man, he supports a nicotine habit, has a $20,000+ Harley Davidson. Why, if a person wanted to take college courses would they allow the federal government to pay their way when they could alter their behaviour or sell some personal property and pay their own way? I never hear this question raised!
I heard a couple guys talking about this same thing at the V.A. a while back.
I believe if people had to pay for their education with “real” money, they would demand a lot more than they are getting now.
I never finished college, because of poor decisions I made in my past, but the classes I did manage to take, I paid for out of my pocket, and I was shocked at the bogus fees I had to pay. Paying for aspirin from the college clinic that I never stepped foot in?
EVERY time government gets involved in a program, or industry, the costs EXPLODE, for no other reason than it’s the govt that pays for it. It’s as if the govt is forcing people to take govt help because it’s far to expensive to pay otherwise.
I’d LOVE to go back to college, but I know it will never happen because I can barely afford to eat. Education shouldn’t be expensive and wouldn’t be if the govt had stayed out of it. Rant off...
