How to pay for school?

How’s a kid to cover tuition if his mom has bad credit? Wait tables? Work at Wal-Mart?

Or sell cocaine. That’s what a straight-A student at Pennsylvania State University at Altoona told the police he decided to do after he couldn’t get student loans, according to The Altoona Mirror.

Twenty-year-old Michael Conforti, of Hackettstown, N.J., was charged on Thursday with, among other things, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession with intent to deliver cocaine, the newspaper reported. The police say they found drugs, almost $3,500 in cash, and other incriminating items at his residence. Mr. Conforti’s lawyer declined to comment on the charges to the paper.

Damn these student loans I have...
