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?

Yeah I've noticed some folks on the Fediverse are too quick to assume the entire world has ended.

I went back to college at arguably a terrible time. I had a child on the way (I literally started a semester the day after I returned from the hospital after his birth) and I was at times during the whole thing the sole breadwinner for my family after my wife got 3 concussions in as many months. It was hard in the moment to handle it all and keep up with everything but it was absolutely one of the best decisions I've made in my life. And now I can point to that and say "yeah I did that! I didn't know I could but I did it!"
