(Assuming that the parents income, which isn't given in the article, is such that they'd be expected to contribute a significant amount.) Or perhaps they'll get lucky and dad will be so depressed at the continuation of the world that he'll quit his job and have no income at all when it comes time to do FAFSA forms.
