I'm only 22 and i remember working my but off 2.50 an hour in a tobacco field for many years. Now i am in college, and i will be about 40k in debt when i grad next year bc i can't even get a federal pale grant, even though i make about 8k a year and my mother, who has nothing to do with me, makes about 20. Costs for me a year at uncw a year are about 15k btw. Thanks Mr. Bush! I'll be a teacher in less than a year, but i wonder if i'll even make enough to pay off my college depts by the time i'm 50...
