Most on HN don't know about the TOPS program which pays for all Louisiana students to go to in-state public colleges (LA Tech, LSU, ULL, ULM...etc) tuition free if they meet some pretty basic requirements like 4 years of math and two years of foreign language in highschool in LA. Most Louisiana colleges require at least an 18 or a 21 on the ACT iirc to get in as well (pretty easy). I got a great engineering degree and then landed a great job because of this. There's a lot of bad in LA (crime, heat, humidity, mosquitos...etc), but this made up for a lot.
