We are in Maine and they still need to buy more supplies. Each state is different Mass is 1,000 hrs. School was 23,000 here. If you have never been don't judge I paid 15.000 for her Mom;s education in Mass 24 years ago.
If you can't afford to go don't. Don't look for a free ride on someone elses talents.
My Dad was a Barber and Sat mornings he gave hair cuts .25. Mom was a hairdresser and gave family many free perms. When we were broke her wealthy sisters and cousins never gave her a dime only critisim. I have seen plenty. If they asked you to do a low cost house cleaning for them would you do it, Cheap?
