Huh. As I was not living below the poverty level, even during periods on unemployment, grants were not available to me. As I was in my 40's, the military debt path was not available to me. Scholarships for someone at my age? Not so's you'd notice. I was working, but since I wasn't some kid with no financial obligations, I couldn't pay as I went for grad/post grad classes. Tell me again how no one has to accrue debt to go to college.
Not everyone is in my position. And not everyone is in YOUR position. Assuming otherwise is demonstrating the lack or practical understanding of the world that is stereotypical of college students.
In 5 years I earned 3 AA's a BA and an MBA, along with 60K in student loans, all while working full time with adult responsibilities. It's ugly, but it was necessary. Next year my kid will start college. He'll have grant/scholarship opportunities that I didn't.
