Participant[quote=SK in CV]. . . Much of their food came from dumpster diving. They know exactly when the bakery and produce stores throw out their unsalable stuff. The used clothing stores in downtown Santa Cruz are packed with students every weekend…[/quote]
SK, I don’t think “dumpster diving” is doable for a college student living in urban SD County. On my once or twice weekly early-morning treks to the major supermarkets in search of just marked-down items, I frequently see Father Joe’s “moving vans” backing into the loading docks of Vons, Albertsons and Henry’s. I have no doubt that FJ’s picks up at local restaurants as well.
There must not be very much of a homeless population in Santa Cruz.
My kid got a lot of very good-quality clothing at “consignment shops” in SF. The city is full of them.

I read part of the commentary and will look at the video tonight.
These “for-profit” vocational schools and Ph.D internet mills are the WORST, IMO.
Many of these vocational schools claim to have contacts in the industry and can place their students into FT employment upon graduation. This is a crock. They make these grandiose promises to potential students to sign them up and get their student loan proceeds. I’ve never seen anyone obtain a job from these schools’ “placement services.” When I worked for local government, I once had a supervisor/mgr who taught ROP classes at a local community college. She encouraged some of her graduates to apply for entry-level openings at local agencies and some DID get hired. Cost for program? $0. Most of her students were single moms who were getting free child care while they went to school and then worked their way off the welfare system.
