That is absurd. If they have no help they would be paying forever, I am though glad your daughter can get it.

actually there is a lot of financial aid out there for people, you just have to know where to look. You can have college about paid for through grants and scholarships. The student has to start looking for all this financial aid in about 9th grade.

You should dedicate a tablet to these efforts, it is a lot of work, but you can get a lot of it paid for, you just have to be dedicated to looking for the money.

I can not imagine a ninth grader these days even looking that far into their futures. It seems reality these days doesn't hit until about oh..lets see...25.

I guess they are more fun and more influential when they are younger, my five year old wants to be a doctor, she says that when I come to her that she will put a bandaid on me and give me a sticker, I have to laugh, she is an ambitious little thing, hopefully she will stay that motivated about life.

I love them at that age. If only they could continiue to have such an attitude when they get older. You see so many young americans not working and it makes you wonder what the world will be like later on, especially with them not working and helping to contribute.

She started kindergarten on her 5th birthday, she is so excited about school. I am hoping too that she stays motivated with school. I have a niece that just left for job corp and a newphew that is graduating from boot camp here on 11/20. so there is hope out there.

This is great to hear about motivated children. I was beginning to wonder if all we had were stragglers who didn't want to work. It is scary that all the baby boomers who have a good hold on todays world are up their in age. I wonder whom will replace these gifted people in the years to come. I sure didn't have any Henry Paulsons or Donald Trumps.
