Due to the very demanding nature of being a music major and being involved in various ensembles and personal practice sessions daily I have very little time for work. I am 24 years old and can only work 2 days a week with the occasional contract job. I live from pay check to pay check and struggle yearly to find the financial aid I need in order to continue my education. This is the first time I have ever had to go into debt in my life and hopefully will be the last. My story sadly is not unique.
Many students share similar stories.
I have reviewed as many of the state auditor's reports and budget reports as my time allows. Certainly I am no financial expert but I do see room for great improvement in several areas outside of education. State Legislature expenses added up to almost 15 million dollars. It seems to me booking an economy ticket on American airlines would work fine for most occasions. The bastard won't even put his real email address up so you have to use his stupid submit form to send him a letter.
