Like thousands of other young adults. My parents didn't contribute one cent to my college education until I was in my late 20s and my mom decided I needed a BA and I said I'd go back if she paid for it but I had no desire to acquire even more student loans. I was hosed because their income was counted, ruling me out of aid.
