If you can't beat them; Go to College!

I have never in my life seen so many colleges soliciting people in my life!!! A brother can't even put in a job application online, unless you fill out some type of college form. Then they call you religiously like you owe them money. I didn't get this many college offer when i was in my senior year of high school. it's obvious that they are thirsty for that guaranteed federal money. I was applying for a job today, and a truck driving company popped up on my screen, and i couldn't continue the application until i filled it out; no more than 10 minutes past before the Truck Driving school called me. I made sure to asked the routine questions; like whether they accepted financial aid, and did they give you jobs upon completion? I even asked the time period. Just when i started thinking in my mind; "so far so good": I asked the final question of whether they accepted ex offenders? BAM! That's where the Truck Stopped! So now I'm thinking what would be the use of me getting better qualified, if these companies aren't willing to give ex offenders an opportunity. Dude went on to explain how the insurance company doesn't like to take risk on ex cons; specially when i told him the nature of my felony conviction- Trafficking in cocaine. It was pointless for me to even plead my case; but i just to satisfy myself; I'm like, dude it's been over 10 yrs since that conviction. and to top it off the state got 7yrs. free labor out of me- so my debt should be paid. So, way am i still paying for something in the past? He was speechless, lol! I knew that it was out of his control, so i simply said; "Thanks anyway", and let it at that. Before the day would end; i would receive calls from Devry, University of Phoenix, and Everest. In this current recession, even college grads are being laid off; So there's really no guarantee! So what would motivate a person to enroll in college? How about the tuition financial aid money,they get back? Lol! Now you have all kinds of people signing up for school in attempts to take advantage of the Govt. Can you blame them? Well, needless to say I'm bout to take advantage of the seemingly free money, lol! You know the saying; If you can't beat them- join them! So instead of filling out job apps; I'm filling out college registrations forms. Let's all go to College!
