I still went, but it took me 7 years to get through because I dropped my credit load to part-time. Had to work to pay each semester and avoid loans!

We put our son through college and med. school. Cost a bunch but we budgeted for years.

Right now everyone is struggling and they make atleast 2x as much a year than I do. And many other residents of deschutes Co Maybe if they struggle some they might fight for what the people need.
