I have just recently applied for Pell Grant. I am returning to school after taking several years off. Well I just recently found out that I am not registered for Selective Severice, so they say even though I have my card. This means that I am not eligible for government aid to go to school, even though I have my card. So the agency that is set up to draft all us fine, straping young lads, can't keep up with my info. This is okay with me because I cannot be drafted, but I also cannot recive government aid to go to school. Which brings me to my next point, the almighty Pell Grant. I recently found out that they lowered the amount of money you can make to get said grant. Now I will make about 12000 dollars this year, then take away my 3600 for child support and I am left with around 8400 that the government counts. This may be to much money. So I am left with a choice; not going to school(which the U.S. government wants and needs higher educated people), stop paying child support(that would put me in jail, and be morally wrong), or take out student loans(just do I can get deeper in debt, so far this is the best opion), or quit working(which would make me not able to pay my child support, and increase my debt). Just as a sidebar to this rant; does anyone else think it weird that when they lowered the amount of money for Pell, that they raised the G.I. Bill to help soldiers get into school. And no, I do not dislike soldiers. They do a job that I could never do, so if you are a soldier you have my full support in what you are doing.
