HELP ME!!!

In article <5831 at cup.portal.com>, JJ at cup.portal.com embarrasses itself:
% Poor College Student needs Your Help!!   :-(
% 
% Hi.  I just finished my junior year in college, and now I'm
% faced with a major problem.  I can't afford to pay for my senior
% year.  I've tried everything.  I can't get any more student loans,
% I don't qualify for any more scholarships, and my parents are as
% broke as am I.  So as you can see, I've got a major problem.  But
% as far as I can see, there is only one solution, to go forward.
% I've come along way, and there is no chance in hell that I'm going
% to drop out now!  I'm not a quiter, and I'm not going to give up.

I second the motion - GET A JOB!  That's how I got through school,
with much the same arrangement as jsp at sp7040 (which isn't surprising
since we share the same parents :-).   BTW, jsp at sp7040 has a 3.8 / 4.0
GPA (no, mine wasn't nearly THAT good).
