The same shite we all did before college welfare frickstick. I know real life blows and all and sorry you got a taste of it before you actually had to start to work....


I don't have tops and haven't used it. I also have worked and paid my way through school out of pocket and through loans the past 4-5 years. Loans that took time to apply and get approved for and money that took time and effort to gain. There is no part time job that gains you 5k in less than a month to continue to go to school this semester.

It must've been nice to pay 300 bucks a class when you went to school pops, but the game has changed so your solution isn't a real one anymore. Cutting the program a month into a semester after zero warning or heads up is some fricked up shite and it has nothing to do with what generation it's happening to.

There's a lot of idiots in this thread bragging about working their way through school before tops.

Newsflash gramps, a minimum wage 20 hour per week job covered about 80% of the cost of going to LSU each year.

That same job today gets you a semester and books. Thats it. No rent, utilities, groceries or gas.

So you had TOPS available to you but chose not to use it? What are you dumb or something? Sure seems like you didn't make the cut for the free money.

Call me old all you want.Tthat's funny because you can call me boss if somehow you figure out how to navigate the daunting process of student loans and part-time jobs...
