[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1457961, member: 12570"] It's not but if you are receiving a trooper pension, working a FT job and looking for a PT gig here that tells me that either you are bored or, and this is most likely, you are living beyond your means. I had no problem paying my share when my kids went for their 4 year degrees. They both knew upfront that anything beyond that was on their dime. I am due to retire on 7/1/2018 and my plan is to be debt free when I do. Paying for grad school could have meant that I would have had to work beyond that date and that is simply not an option for me. My son got his MBA from Clarkson. His total student loan debt is $73K, $23K of which was from his undergrad years. Yeah, it sucks to start his adult life with that burden, but it is what it is. The $23K should have been much lower but he screwed around his freshman year to the point where he as asked not to return for his sophomore year. At that point Mommy and Daddy cut off the checkbook and he completed his 2 and 4 year degrees all on his own. It's called personal responsibility. [/QUOTE]
