This might be the wrong place for this but idk who else to ask & it feels like a stupid question so here it is.

I am 25, wanting to go back to college (blew 4 years already, long story) now that I feel like I can handle it & have a sense of direction. I'm concerned it isn't going to be doable now with trump, if I apply for financial aid and it gets gutted, idk the prospect of applying to college during this shit political landscape feels pointless. my question is, is it? Would it be a bad move or waste of time & energy to get into a college?

Well it could be shitty at universities for the next while. But honestly, it seems like we’re probably gonna have an economic collapse. Might not be the worst thing to be back in school while that’s going on and maybe you miss the worst parts of the job market.

And also, if it’s something you want to do? And you feel ready? I feel like you should do it regardless. There will still be financial aid at many places regardless of the trump stuff.
