[nabs-l] A friend needing help.

[Joe Orozco]

Short of student loans and scholarships, I think you pretty much covered it.
You brought up an important point about college not being suited for
everyone.  It's not that college is supremely difficult, but the reality is
that some people are cut out for occupations that do not require the
academic rigor of a college education.

If vocational rehabilitation is not willing to pay for you to 
attend college, you can always find a way to pay for it 
yourself. It may be difficult, but it can be done. Sometimes 
this may mean that you only go part time, and take classes 
based on when you can afford them rather than taking a full 
load of classes ,and graduating along with everyone else who 
begins college the same time as you. You may want to look into 
whether or not your college provides a payment plan where you 
can pay for your classes in installments rather than all at 
once. You may also want to look into attending a community 
college rather than a major university. The classes that are 
offered at a community college can be just as good as or 
sometimes even better than the classes offered at major 
universities. Although since it is more difficult to do it this 
way, there may come a point in time where you wonder if getting 
a college degree is really worth it. If anyone else has any 
more ideas, I would like to know as well since it is difficult 
to work with a vocational rehabilitation agency who seems to do 
nothing but argue with you or just simply gives up on you.
