I haven't seen any evidence of how she paid for college. She didn't seem
very serious about college; 5 colleges in 6 years? In my world,
serious-minded people with few resources go to a community college or a
state university where they get a tuition break for being a state
resident, buckle down, and graduate in 4 years. People who transfer a
lot and take 6 years to get a degree (I've seen a lot of them) usually
have parents footing the bill. But I don't know; maybe she was working
her fingers to the bone to earn money for the next school. Like Obama,
she's not forthcoming with her source of school funds.
