I share your view point Corneo. My folks aren't made of money and I have three siblings also. No way were they going to be able to afford to help me with college. I joined the military for a few years to get some experience and now that I'm out I'm very focused on school. This doesn't mean I'm not enjoying the experience college has to offer, just that I know why I'm here.
I see quite a few people in my classes who think like your roommate and I just sigh, shake my head and get back to studying.
