My sister needs about $ 22,000 for college next year after scholarships, Federal student loans, grants, etc. She has no established credit. Will she be able to do this on her own? Our family’s income consists solely of disability income and I don't think that I will be returning to work anytime in the probable future. I filed insolvency in September 2006 and was discharged in January 2007. Am I qualified to co-sign?

I am going to graduate from college the next year and I didn't get many scholarships for where I want to go. So I am looking for any scholarship or grant I can still apply to. I am planning on majoring in fashion technology in college so something like that would work. I have tried using some of those government grant search things and I couldn't find anything that I could use. I need your help as much as possible.

And a suggestion that will force the US even lower in the world pecking order. Don't get an education, get one of those jobs as a food server or bedpan emptier with no benefits or future and continue reducing the consumer purchasing power that drives our economy.

Absolutely.

I also wonder if the poster has actually had to search for a job. He/she comes off like one who has had much handed to him/her. School? Daddy paid for it. That kind of thing.

I washed dishes and did anything else I could to make money to get through college. If kids can get it paid for by the government and strengthen the quality of our lazy, failing work force, more power to them.

if that poster was a 'daddy paid for it' why, for fucks sake would she be looking for a loan ?

'daddy paid for its' you don't hear a peep out of, because you don't need to.

So, you criticized me for sugessting she get a job to pay for school, but then you take pride in yourself doing the same thing?

Your post was limited to get a job with no mention of school. If I misinterpreted that as to mean forgo school, I apologize. I believe government should pay for all meaningful higher education through student loans for those who don't have the means, a modest investment in the future of the country.

As to students working their way through school during my era and in the contemporary world, there doesn't seem to be any comparison. I was on the semester system, which allowed me to work full-time during the summer at plentiful and relatively well-paying unskilled and semi-skilled jobs to acquire money for tuition, books and save enough to supplement my menial jobs during the school year. In that era anyone completing their junior year of college in all but the arts was almost assured of a well-paying summer internship in their discipline as companies were actively recruiting every college grad with decent grades.

I doubt that I'd have been able to make it on my own with the current job market, rampant inflation and transportation costs. Most of the pathetic junkers I drove wouldn't even be allowed on the road in today's world.

Yes, I meant get a job to pay for school. Getting a job is the solution to anything you want, but cant afford. I by no means think everyone needs a 4 year college education at the best state schools, however. There are plenty of people who are great and successful at their jobs and their life, who have only a high school education.

And most are limited in their professional life by that lack of higher education as is our country as we lose our dominance in technology and other fields that we formerly owned. A degree with market demand opens doors that remain forever closed without one, especially above the line supervisory/management levels. If one doesn't desire responsibility and reward above that level, then I agree, there's no need for them to pursue higher education. I'd prefer everyone be educated far above their station in life just for the critical thinking ability higher education normally facilitates and the contribution it could make to our crumbling political process.

Sounds to me that you've never had to really work to get what he needs.

I dont agree most are limited. If anything they limit themselves. You seem to not appreciate people who excel at a vocation, something hands on.
