If you're a full-time college student working less than 25 hours/week, you pay $360, and that's before grants and scholarships from teh TM center, and any additional aid from the DLF.

However, I also heard on the news last night, that at a UC school (for those out of state: University of California - the highest tier of public education in the state, e.g. Berkeley, or Santa Barbara), one year of tuition and boarding, costs $33,000! Four years is $132,000! Sheer insanity - no one can begin, even a professional career, with such a burden of debt. There is so much padding in this country, economically, that we are a long way from civil violence, but dysfunctional elements in our higher education system don't help. > The cost of taking college courses at a major university these days makes donating $1000 to learn TM seem like the deal of the century! And free checking for life. It seems to have worked for you and a few others.

Where do you live? In some big retirement community where everyone is flush and doesn't understand why people are getting pissed? Revolutions are fomented by the young, not old farts like us. And when they can't get jobs after racking up a huge college loan the shit will hit the fan. Believe me. Now, I mentioned a solution earlier. Check it out. Mikey won't like it though. :-D On 06/30/2014 05:43 PM, steve.sundur@... mailto:steve.sundur@... [FairfieldLife] wrote: I think he's wrong. In the past people didn't have food to eat. Now we have food to eat, reasonable shelter, and entertainment galore. What are they going to get up in arms about? That that super rich are able to eat better food, travel more, have luxurious accommodations, or are able to attend sporting events in person when everyone else has to watch them on a flat screen, high definition TV? Relatively speaking, everyone here has it reasonable well, except those on the bottom end. And even they have food to eat. Am I being callous, or just realistic? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> mailto:noozguru@... wrote : Billionaire Nick Hanauer thinks that a revolution could occur in the good ol' US if inequality continues. http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-echochambers-28068277 http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-echochambers-28068277 You betcha!
