College Education Cost and Govt Interference

[Firebug]

That's disgusting, but not surprising at all.

Also reminded me that I have to make my final tuition payment this weekend. Ugh. $6K in the hole as an overall total ain't as bad as tons of other people out there though.

Ok, so I paid my last tuition payment back on the weekend. Now I am seeing more cuts from Rogers, as I am getting into media. Ugh.

If it wasn't for the fact that jobs have been lost in all sectors, that would be very discouraging.
