tuition & work
i seriously hope i am not screwed. you see, my college tuition is paid for by the VA, since my dad is retired from the navy. but the only catch is that i can't make more than the national poverty level. the whole entire time i had been looking at my net amount that i have made in 2001 (social security & taxes taken out of my income), and it seemed like i was coming in under the limit. but then some people got me thinking that what they look at is the total amount of my income (without taxes and social security taken out)...if that's true, then i'm seriously screwed for next year..cuz i barely passed the level...meaning my calvet could be revoked for my 4th year. i seriously hope that this isnt the case. i really wish i knew which column on my paystub that i should have been looking at, cuz if i had known, then i wouldnt be having this problem. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =/
