Subject: RE: BS: Poverty in the USA
No, Dickey, I haven't said its "impossible" (your words, not mine) but based on the real world is is highly improbable... Do you actually know any folks who work with the poor??? if so, they will be glad to bring you up to speed...

Man, I'm glad that I ain't facing havin' to go to college again these days... Yeah, I came from a middle class family and I know it was s struggle fir my folks, even though I worked part-time all the way thru both of my degree programs....

Books were cheap back then and you could by used books for a song... Truth be known, I din't buy alot of my books but just hunted up professors who tested from their lectures and took good notes...

But realisticly, if I were faced with the kind of debt kids are faced with today to go to college I would have just taken a pass, thank you...

But, college ain't a real issue here since poor kids very rarely get to attend college... Finishing high school is a stretch...
