[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Access to the most lucrative jobs were once reserved for connected white men who were part of an old boys’ club (that often started in college). Sounds like a lot of folks here are cool with that.[/quote]

I thought the complaint here was that "unhooked" well to do white students whose parents chose second homes and luxury cars, were losing opportunities to kids with average family incomes whose parents valued education.  [/quote]

Yeah - no luxury cars or second homes in our two gov't salary household.  But we fall well outside the cutoff for financial aid.  We have decent retirement savings and home equity and some college savings.  It will be a stretch if DC wants to go to the 90K/year school without any merit to take the sting out.  We'll either take loans from retirement or home and have some cash flow along with $100K in college savings.  I don't fault anyone getting help going to college - and I think it's crazy that people are yelling at each other for whether they should get money or not.   No one should be shut out of college - and no one should be guaranteed a $100K degree. That said, some amount of support would be nice.[/quote]

What is your HHI? If les than 250k, you may get aid at some schools. If you are well outside of that in terms of income,  you should not be shut out of anywhere financially. [/quote]
