Unless that college degree is going to get you six figures plus, it isn't worth it.
These are the max payout amounts. If you don't have kids you you can cut those #'s in 1/2 Your average Joe isn't going to come close to those #'s. Also, staying on welfare isn't very easy in most states. It's like being on probation and you have to report in frequently and show that you are attempting to find work. Just like your skewed view on college, your views on welfare don't have much merit either.
