Mate, I have put 2 kids thru college(1 through woodworking school), helped get the three of them get started in life, and still have 1 left(only a freshman) attending university @ 30k a year. If you you need a ticket, I might be able to arrange a spot as a stowaway on a cruise ship. Otherwise I'm skint.
