IIRC, theres plenty of scholarships, grants, and loans out there catered to the poor people to ensure a chance to go to college Grants only cover the cost for the cheapest schools (community colleges). It takes a lot more for a university.

COVxy 03/14/22 12:44:00 PM #11:	Lol. I was told by social services that people like me shouldn't go to college, when I was trying to open my own case (to funnel benefits to my mother) after I aged out of my mother's case and her benefits plummeted as a result. Full time university doesn't count as employment. Long story short I "volunteered" full time in order to keep the benefits in line, because I couldn't find a job that would give me a full time schedule and work around my university schedule. In other words, I was a slave to the state for a year, before I could make a real job happen. So yeah, real obstacles exist beyond that of just "is tuition covered?". --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] <cite>COVxy posted [p:963437326] in Is there r... [t:79942280]...</cite> <quote>Lol.

"Work hard and sacrifice" is entirely tone-deaf when most people who are too poor to go to school already "work hard and sacrifice" just to keep the roof over their heads and food on their plates. It also ignores people who have family obligations that keep them out of school, have learning disabilities, or any number of countless extraneous circumstances that ocurr in real life but get ignored in bootstrap fantasies. <cite>TheOtherMike posted [p:963437776] in Is there r...

If you guess right, you've found the thing you're really good at and can find a stable career in. Each guess will require a minimum of a decade of your life btw, because college costs are so insane. --- Black Lives Matter. ~DYL~ (On mobile) 12-18-19 and 01-13-21: Times Donald Trump has officially been impeached. <cite>Umbreon posted [p:963480515] in Is there r...

Perascamin 03/15/22 9:24:00 PM #48:	The biggest limiting factor imo is energy investment. Most low wage workers will qualify for a full Pell Grant which will cover 90-100% of 2 year institutions. But it is very hard to work full time and be a full time student at the same time. You will have to sacrifice much of your social life --- I've grown. <cite>Perascamin posted [p:963480532] in Is there r...

TheOtherMike 03/17/22 4:57:28 PM #50:	Having been poor, and having known many, many poor people...no poor person has "the latest and highest end iPhone." Hell, most middle-class people I know aren't wasteful enough to spend that kind of money on the newest phones. When I was poor I outright refused to buy a phone that cost more than $200, and even then there were only like 2 options in that price range. Even now, with a 6 figure household income, the husband and I still went with S20's when we switched carriers a few months ago. Ironically, literally the only people I know who keep up with the latest phones are the extended family Trumpers who basically inherited their business while simultaneously screeching about bootstraps, antifa, and BLM at every opportunity. <cite>TheOtherMike posted [p:963533409] in Is there r...
