Wow. I just had a rental applicant who is going to college on federal grants. He's receiving over $6500 every 3 months. Books and tuition are about $1500 of that. (I saw the documents)

He's studying massage, so the government will pay $25,000 a year for a couple of years, and when he graduates, he'll go on unemployment because he isn't studying anything he can make a living with.

Hey, the local college offers a really expensive culinary institute. I like to cook. I wonder if the government would pay me $2200 a month to take cooking classes?

No, it'd never work. I've watched Hell's Kitchen, and all chefs smoke. I'm not willing to take up smoking in order to qualify for cooking classes.
