[quote=Anonymous]It's ok. There's always an alternative way. The thing is the kids need to realize the parents are not always going to be able to financially give you the money you need to do anything. I learned that early when I had to go to college. Notice I said I HAD to go to college. There is no other choice or I would end up to be in the same low income category as my parents. Then, again my parents were refugees so I know how much they sacrifice for us to be here.

I put myself through college since I came from a low income family. It was all about the grants they gave me each semester. There are plenty of money out there. You just have to know where to apply and ask for money. Nowadays, you can research online. In the 80s, I would go to a library and look through books in the reference section to look for organizations that give money for those who can't afford to go to college. I would work part time through out the year to earn a bit of money...really that only covered those expensive text books. In the summer, I would work full time and again save the little money I earned. I ate bologna sandwich often. I took the public bus. I learned to navigate the bus schedules in the rain, snow and 100 degree weather.

So, it is doable.
