conversation: User (hazoplmeught): "My parents are always talking to my brother (still in college) about we wasted money... and all this stuff. I am going to a community college for the first years $2000 per semester tuition. I have a 1200 per semester scholarship. I just want my parents to help pay for gas (not allowed to have a job). Should i let my parents pay? Also, how much did your parents help support you in college?\n\n\nedit: also i plan on transferring to a 5k a year university for three years. 1 yr community 3 yr university required for program"
  Self: "$1600 of debt is pretty cheap for a year's worth of education, in my opinion.  \n \nThe thing is, it's also really easy to make that much money working part time in college. And since it sounds like you're living at home now, your expenses are probably low. \n \nIs there a legitimate reason you're 'not allowed' to work, or have your parents decided this?\n"
