<p>Actually, my friend just informed me that if he works as a fire fighter through college, they will pay for most of his tuition. And he’ll have his fire fighter certification at the end of this year.</p>
<p>I will talk to him about considering community college. But if there’s chances for him to get into other schools, then why not apply? If he doesn’t get in anywhere or can’t pay, then he’ll consider it. But I believe he’s capable of getting into a good school, and I don’t want him to just flat out not apply because people tell him it’s impossible.</p>
<p>And please, everyone, stop telling me what he can and can’t pay for. You don’t know everything about his financial situation…There are ways he can pay for college. And, there are many scholarships he qualifies for.</p>
