Three degrees and ten years later, and I’m a college adjunct professor. I don’t get paid in the semester breaks, which puts me behind financially. My summer course load was light, and added to it, I had kidney stones and missed a class. The college deducted my pay, and although tonight is the first night of fall classes, I won’t get a paycheck for another month, and tonight I spent too much money on groceries. 

Three degrees and ten years later, and my financial situation isn’t much better than my homeless student.
