(3,329 posts)I think my DU name has some thinking Im from Alabama.
Personally I had no choice but in state college and I was from a small NM town and earned a scholarship and had financial aid. And I worked. I consider myself lucky that I had choices and my parents emphasized a good education as a way to break a cycle of poverty.
I think kids should have lots of choices for advanced education whether its a two year technical degree or a four year college degree.
I guess this story makes me sad because it shows that the kids of WV as well as adult learners simply wont have as many choices going forward.
And I think it can and will result in the State of WV being further impoverished.
Just my thoughts. Oh and I love NM. Originally from TX and I think the best thing my parents ever did for us as a very poor family was move us to NM.
