    Yeah but the thing I take away from others is they are in a rush to get their kids into college thinking this it will provide them a job when they get out. The other thing is college degrees are cheapen now thanks to the flood of ways to fund them, the colleges get the money, they are now just mills that churn out graduates without really any education to speak of.

    I'm a married man, so used to being at fault!
    If the driver will give us her location, we can help her find a better job.
    Exactly where are you in PA?
    What is the reason VanKampen and Frock Bros. didn't hire you?
    Will you move to a lower cost state; warm climate and no state income taxes?
    Several ways to cut living expenses and keep more of your paycheck.

    Stop feeding the hungry, they stop reproducing, natural selection runs its course.

    Is it politically correct, no, but the problem will solve itself

    Just my “single” thought.

    It’s time for adult children to become adults.

    My mother was a single parent, with 3 kids. Each of us paid for our own education. Which allowed her to eat on a regular basis. And not worry about NORMAL household bills.

    Sadly, all of our degrees were wasted. I came into trucking, another became a teacher, while the other edited software. None of us hold a degree in our chosen path.

    My money says your daughters degree will amount to the same. Most do.

    Just a side note. Your daughters education is not something you can count on in your old age. In 15 years, she’ll be struggling with her own children and bills. And taking care of mom will be a VERY low priority.
