*No* amount of tuition is affordable to me right now. In fact, a significant portion of my income comes from grants and loans. As a single mom, it's really the only choice I have if I want to finish school. Yes, after I'm done with my masters I will have a sh!tload of debt, but higher income with which to pay it. Without it, yes I'm debt free, but my income potential (not to mention job satisfaction) is severely limited.

Not to worry....my ideal world is not about to be implemented by anyone anytime soon;)

Don't feel bad, neither is mine...

Despite how opposed we are on so many things I think you'd like my ideal world.

Just as you might like mine.

I just may:)

My ideal world is made of marshmallows. The kind used in Lucky Charms cereal (since those taste better than real marshmallows). Also, crying over spilt milk is understandable since it is a major ecological catastrophe (disolving the world and all that).

And Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch is a health food that fulfills all dietary needs without slicing the roof of your mouth all to hell.

Ok... Who is this person, and what have they done with the real Alex?
