Re: College Education an Entitlement?

Yep. After my second graduate degree, my college debt was 300 dollars.
Fortunately I started my career with no financial burden.
My parents helped out by sending food at Christmas.

One of the issues is resourcefullness. Students need to learn how to get it paid for in addition to learning endurance education takes.
Hey coadie...not all college students are 18 years old, single, and childless.

I'm 30+ with four children, a single parent and not receiving a dime of child support. Any ideas how I can reduce my student debt, cuz it's definitely outrageous. Oh, as for resourcefulness, I've managed to keep four kids clothed, sheltered, fed, and on an academic track that's far above their peers, work full time, and go to school full time, for most of my college education. But, loans have played a huge part of this and I haven't had time to look for grants and scholarships above what the college has just handed me (mostly pell grants, very, very few scholarships). Right now, granted, I'm not working. But I am homeschooling vs public schooling my children and I'm also taking 9 credits in 8 weeks so time is still kind of limited.

Thanks!
