In all seriousness, that sucks, dude. I guess he hasn't been convicted yet, and he's just being held in custody for the duration of the trial? I really hope that he's acquitted. Even just three to five years is a good chunk of your life to have to lose to prison.

Billy Zoom is a 50's Rockabilly style guitar god known for a stage presence where he neglected rockstar posturing and instead would try to make playing guitar look as easy as possible

That's why you see mostly the bassist in that vid

But he's the best guitarist I've ever seen live

Seriously I'm so upset I'm trapped, I can't afford to live on my own, there's no place that will hire me above $10 an hour, it's gonna take me 4 years to get a 2 year degree on debt

You can try to make a case to them to get the in county rate (especially if the other school doesn't offer your study of choice).If not, unfortunately you'll have to go to your county's college.

How old are you? When you're not dependent on your parents you can qualify for help. I just got some this year, otherwise I was paying for a class at a time. It's been way too many years and I'm in the same boat. I know that isn't encouraging... but this is reality for a lot of people, so you won't be alone in this boat. Mike just got under 30k on his loan. But it will be ok.

I'm not trying to make it seem like those problems are trivial. School sucks and is unfair. When classes are as well as othe policies favor those that have more time and money than those that have to work to live. I know the pain. Do what you can and roll with the punches. It makes it easier and there isn't much other choice.

If I move out I don't make enough money to pay tuition AND I still don't qualify for aid until I'm 24!

Make that argument to them then to get the in county rate. That's a very good argument. It's worth a try at least right?

In-county tuition is bullshit. I thought there was only in and out of state

Elphenor,

Lately I've discovered that there is a Third Eye Blind song for every occasion. This is the Third Eye Blind song for your occasion. I hope you enjoy.

Kindest regards,

Phlaming Globs

Guys,

I've decided to shift my schtick from "guy who posts too many gifs" to "guy who embeds Third Eye Blind videos everywhere." I hope you enjoy.

Yours,

Glaming Fobs

No their logic is that my family doesn't pay property taxes in their county which is what goes towards the reduced tuition

I had to jump through so many hoops just to prove to the state that I'm a resident (Texas is really particular about this) and I thought I finally had it sorted out and they basically turned me away at the gates of higher education

I'm not in finance so I can't tell what's a better option for you, elph. That it is you can pay the out of county rate while you live with your parents (while not paying rent), or take out loans and get through cc quickly and then move on to real college if you feel like that's right for you (where you will surely need to take out loans), or you can work and pay off each class and while it may be slow, it is progress.
