Default and money...

Hi everybody,

I agree on the said above and I wanted to add, that a big factor for me was also money. I'm working full time to support my family. There would be no way for me to spend 500-1000USD+ per month on school. And even with Financial Aid, I still would need to pay this money back (just later + interest).
Coming from Germany, where school is pretty much free (at least compared to the US), it was a huge shock for me and at the beginning, I did not even look detailed into a Bachelors, as I would take 4 years and be much to expensive.
Now with testing, it's more affortable, especially with IC, as you don't need to buy all the books:-)
