First it was Karen, now this idiot.  I know this horse has been beaten into the ground but, is there any way we can thwart these moochers.  Why do people automatically turn to credit cards when they get canned from work?  I was always taught to keep your savings nice and fat (3 months salary) and turn to that just in case.  As far as school is concerned, its called financial aid.  There is money out there for any type of student.  Heck, at UT, there is a scholarship for those who have a C average or lower.  If you bring your grades up, you don't get it.  When it comes to working through school, Grad is much more conducive than undergraduate work.  At GA Tech they practically THROW financial aid money at you.  All you have to do is become a part-time instructor or a research assistant.  All you have to do is work hard.  I guess folks are allergic to that now.
