Epiphany, my heart goes out to you. I understand what you are going through. A lot of people don't understand just how expensive college has become. It may have been possible to work your way through it 25 years ago, but a lot has changed since then. The only reason some students are making it is because of their parents or they were fortunate to get scholarships. I don't believe for one minute that people are "pulling themselves up by their bootstraps" with these prices. I wish I could give you more advice.
This country should provide all of its citizens with food, shelter, and healthcare no matter what. In order for people to be successful they need SUPPORT. We are all human and we can only do so much with out help. As a nation we are moving backwards instead of forward. We are moving back to a time when only privileged people could afford to educate and advance themselves.
