Did you not read my initial post about my friend's Granddaughter? Apparently not!
She went to a local small university and lived at home with her parents. No room and board expenses by not living in a dorm at a school located far from home. All through high school she worked and did the same thing in college using that money to purchase books and other school expenses. She worked hard in high school and in college to achieve a high grade point average which enabled her to obtain a couple scholarships. She didn't go out at night and party till the early AM, she worked at a job. As I stated her grandparents helped a bit on her expenses, but they are no where near rich so that help was minimal. She then did her Masters on-line which was considerably cheaper. Her degree is in marketing where there is a demand for employees, not some useless degree in a field that is overflowing with applicants for very few jobs. Nearly immediately after receiving her Masters, in July this year, she was hired by Caterpillar Corp and works at the corporate headquarters in Dallas, TX in their marketing department.
No "BEEE ESSSS", just a strong, intelligent young woman's determination to succeed. She has never had the idea that the world owed her a free education or embraced the entitlement victim mindset. One thing I've learned in my 75 years is that losers always find excuses for their failures, and always claim that successful people were given some kind of break that insured their success.
