Everywhere you turn you see Charles Darwin around here.
It was sweet while it lasted but we don’t live on the Galapagos anymore. We’re not isolated from all those people who want to do “our” jobs for lower pay. We’ll need to “adapt” as the great naturalist might say. That includes paying for education.
Money saved by going to a two-year community college can pay for the last two years at a university. Instate tuition can save another $20,000 to $60,000 which can help pay for grad school (where, experts say, top-tier programs at elite institutions are most likely to pay off) or pay down student loans.
A woman in my class moved here to live with her grandfather and go to community college. It was a survival-of-the-fittest decision. She plans to major in oceanography. I suspect she and Darwin will run into each other again in the waters off the coast of Ecuador.
