My son was the first in my family tree to earn Ph.D. (Organic chemistry) or degree from major college. I am not rich person money wise. Been blue collar worker all my life and was glad to just have job and be productive in the game of life and not be moucher from society.
We did it with no grants, scholarships, or free passes. He did have small student loan which he paid off within two years of working real job. Now days average young Americans have little hope and near impossible chance for success IMO.
I don't consider this bragging but, a success in life.
