I didn't immediately realize, as I made my way through the enrollment lines at college, how much it was going to cost me to live in Pasadena. My college had no dormitories so all students had to find off campus housing and transportation to get to get to school. Tuition averaged $11,000.00 per semester and the school ran 3 continuous semesters per year.
In a sincere effort to fund my education, I turned to my college financial aid office, where advisors never even suggested federal funding or grants etc. . They simply directed me to private loan companies, who were more than wiling to lend me twenty thousand dollars when I needed it; which was each semester. It was a smooth process.
lemme see, you’re going to college in order to be among the top wage earners in the USA. AND you whine about having to pay for the honor???
You can donate to joe. His fund is up to $92.50.
snicker.
Bump for later.
lib looking for a handout
yup
He was willing to work two jobs and take out loans to pay for his college. Okay, no problem there. What he got screwed on was the medical bills. If he was illegal then he would have had no worries.
Get a job ‘ya bum!
“where advisors never even suggested federal funding or grants etc. .”
Too dumb to look around for handouts before taking out a loan? Or family makes too much money to qualify for the handouts?

BWWWAAAHHHHAAAHH - I clicked on the link to read Joe’s entire sob story, then I noticed that the google ad at the bottom of the page is for a STUDENT LOAN COMPANY!!! Not only is this kid a total idiot (what California student DOESN’T know about grants, etc) but in order to make money off his site, he’s inadvertently advertising the same loan products he claim is ruining his life. (I also noticed that he conviently doesn’t have a way to post comments to him, I guess he’s afraid of what he would be reading....)
Sucks to be you, Joe.
“Art Center College of Design”-a big, no wait a HUGE mistake. I would suggest that he learn a trade-plasterers and masons are in demand.
Let’s see. He goes to an expensive school with the pipe dream of getting a job in an industry that is very difficult to get into, and isn’t known for its great insurance plans - then whines when he has high tuition loans and no health insurance?
I love how he first starts out by blaming the college reps who “didn’t tell him” about fed. grants and loans.
Little Joe didn’t do his research and wasn’t grounded in reality. A deadly combination, and now he’s paying for it (after declaring bankruptcy and stiffing his creditors, that is).
I’m sorry, but I have no sympathy.
Actually, if the guy’s creative enough to do this sort of thing, I’d almost be compelled to throw him a couple bucks.
However...since the idea’s been done already, I’m less likely to.
Hey - at least he isn’t asking for the government to do it!
“lib looking for a handout”
Nah, this is his final project commercial that he borrowed all that money to produce.
