I know a someone on welfare, and he's pissed about it. He screwed up early in life, had kids and married early, etc. Now, with four kids, he barely pulls through because both he and his wife are on welfare and have under the table jobs.

The problem is, they don't want to be on welfare, they want to become educated enough to get actual jobs. Unfortunately, if either one of them enrolls in college, that person is suddenly no longer eligible for welfare, and they obviously can't work as much while at school.

He's determined, though, and by scrimping and saving for years he's able to risk going to college. It's still damn hard, though. He feels that the welfare program is self defeating because it actually discourages people from getting educated and taking charge of their lives.
