While being a bit better off financially makes it easier to afford higher 
education here, it is not all that difficult for those of lesser means.  
Loans and grants are all over the place to help, and there are many that 
also work their way through college.  It isn't a lack of money that keeps 
some from doing it, it is more a lack of fortitude and willingness to 
explore all the options.
