Same here, I ended up dropping out of college at 22 and by the time I came back to finish I was making six figures. I don't really think a lot of these systems are intentionally malicious, But they assume a very specific type of family structure. If you don't have stable parents, even just tracking them down to ask him to fill out a FAFSA can be impossible. We have the money as a society, if you do something stupid, they'll find $70,000 a year to lock you up.
