My mother,father,grandfather, and great grandfather were all business owners. They never went to college so obviously didn’t get a business school degree.

I have made my own money making opportunities throughout the years and with the power of google and can find out how to do anything. The thought of sitting in class with a bunch of students expecting to be told how to be entrepreneurs is sickening. I got caught into the whole name brand resume thats why it was either MIT Sloan, UPenn Wharton, or Berkeley Haas. Perhaps an economics degree from Cal would be more a broad and beneficial undergrad for MBA creditability. Hmmmm….

I pasted my response about FAFSA from a reply I made on another forum to a user that brought it up. I’m not talking about tuition assistance or admissions I can get into any school regardless of my financial status and I don’t plan to apply for TA as I know I don’t qualify.

Unfortunately I’ve been denied for scholarships where I was the most qualified canidate but didn’t demonstrate enough financial need. I was told by the voting members on the committee that I blew everyone out of the water. I’m not complaining, I understand the point, if I don’t need it I don’t need it .

Additionally I’d like to protect my assets in general as I have no need for the securities and funds to be liquid and I invest aggressively.

The military provides me with the MGIB since I served as active duty for 4 years.

Thanks for the support.
I will be attending Haas School of Business. I value your point. Saving money or my personal moral values.

Maybe I’m too cynical, I feel as if it is all of our jobs to determine an organizations validity. How many degenerates does the average student personally know that abuses things such as FAFSA?. FAFSA gets exploited because its exploitable nothing should count on the assumed moral inclinations of individuals. It should be based on merit not need but, I simply do not “need” the aid by their definition.

60k is an impressive amount not to turn the other way for.

Great reply, I’m checking out the links right now. I might as well explain how I came to this subject matter. I grew up in Los Angeles poor. My mother was a business owner and did well for a single mother. My father left when I was a child and they divorced years later. After highschool I joined the U.S. Marines and had a successful tour while attending a local community college. I am now transferring to UC Berkeley. My mother died while I was in the service and I was the sole benefactor to a 100k life insurance policy. I’ve invested it well and have made an overall 178% percent return.

I don’t identify my self as a minority personally or on applications even though I am half latin american. Regardless if it is formally incorrect I identify with my self as white Anglo Saxon Protestant. No one helped me gain my knowledge in the financial sector or with my successful investments. I’ve always been hungry and have always had a plan yet I feel that I am being punished for my large brokerage holdings even though my veteran/very underprivileged background on its own would bring all sorts of preferential treatment in loans, educational programs, etc.. Which I would not exploit in any situation anyways.

He actually has an informative Q&A this month.
I regret buying the 25 dollar membership as most of his informative articles are free.
