[quote=bearishgurl][quote=meadandale] . . . The sad thing is that her half sister just graduated from high school and has NEVER worked. She has no driver’s license, no money, no work experience and both her parent’s are basically broke as well–yet she wants to go to community college. How she’ll pay for it is anyone’s guess She hasn’t even been forced (like all my brother’s and sisters as well as me were) to do chores around the house so she hasn’t even a glimmer of anything resembling a work ethic.[/quote](emphasis added)
meadandale, her half-sister may be able to qualify for assistance or attend CC free. If she can’t get a grant, her student loans won’t be that much. As a CC student, she will qualify for a $32 mo bus pass (the same as K-12).
If you have any influence over her, please try to talk her into an ROP program she is interested in so she can get REAL WORK ASAP. This is just my .02.[/quote]
By broke I mean they have no money in the bank. Both of them make decent money–combined income is probably over $75k.
Yeah…bus pass. It’s a 45 min drive over the hill to SB from the SY valley. They have a free commuter shuttle that she could take but she’d have to be and on the bus at 6am. I don’t think she has gotten up before noon in years. Don’t really see that happening…
I’ve told my brother she needs to get her sh** together for years. He’s tried to tell her too and his wife tells him to STFU, it’s none of his business. Go figure…
She could probably get grants but that would mean that she would actually have to get off her butt and apply for them. It took someone to drag her down at the last minute to get her application in so she could even GO to school this year.
