When I was a teen, I worked for $7.25/hr at a physically intensive job shelving books at an understaffed library. One day I told my coworker, who did same job as me, that I was planning on majoring in philosophy. "That's cool," he said, loading up a cart, "that was my major too!"
I couldn't afford it. My parents had enough money I didn't qualify for financial assistance, and they wouldn't financially help me or cosign on any loans.

An interesting situation in Germany, if the parents earn enough and there is no entitlement to state financial support, they are obliged to pay for the education. Also, when the parents are old and in need, the children need to pay before the state financial support steps in.

That is an incredibly nice system.
