fuck toll booths

i wish this was true

what somebody's parents make for money shouldn't have anything to do with how much college costs. i guess i'm baffled at all the help everybody seems to be receiving. your parents can make a million dollars a year and still not give you single penny for college. your parents do not have to provide a roof or food the moment you turn 18. i get that a lot of people are in better situations, but jeez the blindness. an 18 yr old needing to house & feed themselves while working as many hours as they can at a minimum wage hs diploma job can't afford a timely college degree in vermont. PERIOD.

listen, i attended ccv for a year i know what it costs.

you're clearly set in your opinion, but like i said -- for those without any parental support college is unaffordable in this state.

it is absolutely a choice i was forced into. i had no help with college and no one to willing to co-sign a loan. vermont colleges were too expensive for me and my sisters. i had to move to a southern state, wait a year for residency, and get a college degree there. i was PAID a couple thousand dollars to get my degree with my 4.0 GPA instead of going into debt. not everyone can afford $7,000~ a year. yes, i agree housing is awful here, but vermont colleges have way more expensive in-state tuition in comparison to other states. please don't belittle my experience.

i would disagree. happy that you were able to afford UVM, but once i graduated hs in VT i had to move out of state to afford college.

why am i having a hard time believing that a guy who has been on reddit for over an hour with an 8 month old baby doesn't actually work 16 hour days...

THIS. most people do not get their driveways plowed for them. unless you're disabled you'd better start shoveling.

genuinely curious, are you from out of state?

I've never heard of such a thing! Where do you get it?

Sorry, but WRJ is pretty much NH 😅 at least to me. It was a looong drive out there and the hotel they put me up in was in NH. The training center is less than 10 minutes from NH.

Can confirm they no longer drug test, but it takes about 3 months to get in the door, you get two days off a month (13 days on and then 1 day off), and you need to spend a week in NH or Maine to complete the training. Essentially the best USPS employee is one with no life.

when you compare their "purposes" to the declaration they don't really match up. read the declaration and then read their "purposes". they're different enough that something seems off and i'd be skeptical too.

ngl their 'purpose' page did put a bad taste in my mouth

Starts in Essex, but then you need to spend a week in NH or Maine.

I do not recommend the post office unless you're okay with having 2 days off a month and able to travel out of state for a week for the training
