    Weird. Here I thought having to work a full time job came at the expense of education. I have coworkers who only take once course per semester, because they literally have no time for more.

    Then again, our mistake was being born into the working class. We should’ve tried being born into rich families that could provide for us during school instead.

      There’s plenty of working class families that have and continue to put their children through college. If you select with respect to cost, it is especially not hard.

      That’s not to say college isn’t incredibly overpriced these days, but 2 year community colleges offer a great budget pathway
