And you are showing your age.  When you were coming up the American Dream still existed and was a reality, someone could work their way up the ladder and make a decent living in the middle class. Now the corporations run America, and their only goal is to profit, the rich keep getting richer while the poor keep getting poorer.  The middle class is dwindling away.  Some people actually fall into the socioeconomic level where you can't get any of the government assistance for school, but it's getting so expensive that you can't afford it yourself without taking out loans and being in debt until you are 35.  But without that schooling you can't get the jobs that pay well enough.  It's a vicious circle for the "middle class".

 

Not true at all....community colleges and in state tuitions are very doable.

 

I worked three part time jobs to pay for my undergraduate college degree (while carrying a full load) rather than complain about how no one would give me a free education.

 

It is more than possible.....if you really want it bad enough.

This is the simple aspect of the arguement that many idiots in this thread do not get.

Car salesmen have to drive the cars at times.....therefore it is DAMN likely that the owners of the dealership fuging care about drug use.

Between this thread arguing about how great smoling weed is.....18 pages on how to be a drug test....threads on how much of a waste of money a college degree is....numerous threads on how the min wage should be $15 an hour.....it is no wonder that most posting in the TB are a bunch of underachievers.

Derrrr herrrrrr, minimum wage should be $15 bucks an hour... That won't have any effect on how much things cost. Morons gonna moron, nothing you can do about it man. Let's raise minimum wage to 15 bucks so I can pay twenty bucks for a burger at McDonalds

Couldn't be anything hard. I got four hours of sleep a night while taking all my engineering classes

They were making about $7.50 an hour.....and I worked about 40 hours a week and carried a 15 hour loads.

 

Worked security at a building in downtown Charlotte on the week-ends (7am-7pm on Sat and Sun).....worked  about 8 hours a week in the afternoons in an acctg dept for a landscaping company....and worked a few evenings a week at a local video store.

 

Had to be real good with my time management.  But I graduated in 3 1/2 years with a 3.6 GPA in Accounting....went to school during the summer as well.

How the hell did you pay rent/utilities/gas/car insurance/groceries/cellphone and pay for school on 7.50 an hour?

I lived at home and went to a college that I could commute to....again, if you want an education bad enough you can get it.
