Hang in there. This sounds like what my husband went through with his father. In his case, his father told him he wasn't smart enough. But my husband stuck with it, and went to classes at night for a long time. It took years to pay off the student loans.

Guess what? It's worth it. If you stick with it and ultimately you'll do more for yourself than get a college degree. You'll find that overcoming the obstacles and achieving goals has its own rewards and benefits.

And don't forget...

Living well is the best revenge.

GOOD LUCK!
