Need some summer cash? Avoid the scams!

Hi all,

It seems like there's been a jump in spam coming to my mailbox recently, and I've noticed that some of them are offering jobs.

Even though we're cruising toward the middle of July (eek! "middle of July" = "almost August") and beyond Test Essay Prep's "June is College Financial Aid Month," I think we should continue the conversation!

If you're worried what someone will think of you for seeking financial aid, then they're not there to help you and they're not your friends.

What does July 4th mean to you?

To me, it means celebrating all the hard-won rights that I have today because at one point, someone else in the U.S. didn't have them...and a reminder that a lot of people still fight for their rights.
