[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.
