My complaint and aggravation is that my "friend" got a full ride with nothing wrong with him. He also has a degree... well he's 1 class away, but dropped out. Him and his wife together blew through her inheritance money. He called in sick alot at his jobs which ended up him getting fired. He wasn't sick at all... he was taking vacations with his wife. The government then gave him full grants to go to school.

Yes I have a computer repair degree. I graduated just a few months before 9/11. I relocated to a larger city to get a job in my field, but they couldn't afford to give me the raise increase that was promised. With cost of living so high in larger cities (which I'm sure alot of you know). I moved back home to my small town living. Not much need for a computer tech around here. Starting pay for a computer tech is 9 bucks an hour. So forgive me for not jumping at the chance to give up my warehouse job where I make 16 to sit in an office.

I applied for grants/student loans/ and Scholarships. I was approved for 1500 dollars in student loans per year. That isn't near enough to pay for the Aviation Flight degree. Scholarships I applied for were only a few thousand dollars total. That's if I was awarded all of them I applied for.
