Maybe Obama has heard the snickering coming from our office: "shit sucks, work sucks, jobs suck, time to start on that Master's..."
From USA TODAY:
President Obama has announced the formation of a new website, http://www.opportunity.gov, which will help unemployed Americans pursue educational opportunities. Jill Biden, the wife of Vice President Biden and a community college professor, will take a lead in this effort, Obama says. The president also is asking each American to commit to one year of some sort of education after high school.
From opportunity.gov:
In particular, the Federal Pell Grant program can provide up to $5,350 for educational costs at community colleges, colleges and universities, and many trade and technical schools.
