Maybe they’d like to try doing what I did when I was in my 30’s, divorced, and raising two sons. I worked full-time days, and went to college full-time nights. Had a 4.0 average, and graduated with Honors. Too many pussified kids today. Bet they got money for booze and drugs though.

Careful, talk like that will cause the little darlings to become triggered.
I did that from the time I was 18 for most of my college time-I was a single mom with a baby-green ranch girl in the city to go to college and live on my own for the 1st time-after a year and 1/2 of having to take off a semester here and there to work more hours waiting tables full time, another student and friend steered me to the upscale supper-and-night club in the tourist district where she worked as a cocktail waitress-I got hired, and made twice as much serving drinks working half the hours as I had serving food-I was working at night so my aunt who lived nearby babysat my cub-and I was making enough in tips to go full time to classes.
I was able to afford fresh food to cook, too after subsisting on “dorm food” staples like hamburger helper, ramen noodles and the $1.99 menu at the First Mate or burger place for the last 2 years-the supper club would let employees eat dinner there in the kitchen for free, too as long as you had the special for that day-otherwise you paid 1/2 the customer price for any other menu item-a good deal-there is no need even today to go hungry to pay for classes-last time I looked, reataurants and night clubs still hire students and some let them eat free, there are still really cheap food items at the fast food places- Hamburger helper, Spam, canned tuna and ground beef are sold at every grocery store, and the dollar stores sell Ramen noodles for even less than the grocery store...
Every student I knew worked and paid for their classes-there were a few who didn’t work, but they were trust-fund baby types and not in my working class peer group in any case.
I married a guy from that peer group after we both graduated-no student debt to pay off, etc. But that was then, this is now-and there certainly are more pussified young adults in school-I really wonder how/if they will be able to find work, and actually hold a job-if I were a supervisor at a major corporation, I don’t see myself hiring one of those snowflakes-would not be cost effective at all...
I did the same thing. Had a hubby and a kid. Went to school during the day and worked full time as a bartender at night. Hubby was a firefighter so was gone a lot on fires or just at work. Was almost like being single at times.
