Ironic, isn't it?

Today, my father's company shut down his branch, leaving him without a job. This is followed by a letter from my school's financial aid office, saying I'm not getting a penny because my family's income level is too high. FML

You can appeal by showing proof that your dad lost his job. Happened to me.

You ever seen the movie Clerks? That'll be your life story. Welcome to the new economy, Labour Unit #425352. Oh well, maybe in a few decades you'll invest all your savings starting a company that'll lose all its business to Wal-Mart because they can afford to pack up shop and move to China whenever it suits them and you're stuck paying your employees because of those pesky anti-slavery and anti-killing-union-organizer laws.

That sucks. A friend of mine has similar problems. These people seem to have plenty of advice for you, though. Hopefully it'll help.

That's exactly what happened to me - financial aid rejected me because my family made too much money. But they didn't know my dad had died a year earlier without leaving a will and finances were tied up. Generally you can appeal and tell them about extenuating circumstances.

SUCKY!!!!! I'm sorry, but me along with over half my friends are in the same boat! I'm so pissed at the government right now!!!! But maybe if you tell them what's going, they may understand although I highly doubt it!

I hope this gets resolved for you. Don't get discouraged, life gets hard at times but we just need to try harder to stay afloat. Now, don't go get drunk and wasted in college! Learn something good to help make the world a little better.

#13 You've obviously NEVER been enrolled in an institution of higher education. Stop talking about things you know abosolutely NOTHING about. My income was too high to get anything but student loans when the only income I submitted was my mothers high school teacher's salary. My school costs $20,000/year to attend. That's almost half of what my mom makes in a year.
