13431429, I can't say I disagree with you BUT the Pell Grant should be enough to pay

for any public university. And every broke adult should be eligible to receive the Pell Grant. Don't get me started on FASFA and those mofos looking at my pockets to determine if my adult child is broke or not. I'd do anything for them, but guess what, they're broke AND homeless. When they get their own place, want me to pay for any rent too?

I can't say I disagree with you there. Even in my field of work, there are non University driven ways to get a decently paying job. Hell, I have a STEM ungrad degree...but nothing to do with what I'm doing now. (I dd get another degree that aligns with what I do, though)
