I don't get this. It's hard to be middle class and be able to obtain financial aid. A kid who has a mother who stays home all day doing nothing but house work has a higher chance of getting financial aid than a kid who has two hard working parents. The hard working parents even have to pay taxes, which the government uses to put the other kid through college.
My parents fall the the second category. I'm a junior in highschool and I'm worried as heck about college. My parents and the rest of my family (extended) want me to attend a prestigious private college like NYU. I told them that it's too expensive and I want to attend a State University in NY (i'm a New Yorker), Then I was criticized and my family told me that I can always pay back the money later after I earn it.
I don't believe in spending too much money that we don't have. There is no promise that I would be able to make back the money to pay the banks. Isn't that how every single depression and recession came about? I don't want to be a indentured servant for the banks.
Sometimes, I wish I came from a poor family. My parents worked their way up from nothing. Now they have to pay for some other kid's higher education because they were successful.
What do you guys think?
