In reply to the discussion: Saddened and Humbled by a Student [View all]ProudLib72
(17,984 posts)34. It was weird
The fact that she stressed having only two dollars made me think she had gone over her budget and was waiting until her next paycheck.
The ironic thing about all this is that she told me a couple weeks ago she might have to miss class for a job interview. She showed up the day she had said she might miss and told me they had turned her down for the job. It was a shame because she could have been a cashier at Wells Fargo! They pay the astronomical wage of $14 per hour, and that was much better than what she is currently making. Considering this latest development, I can't help but wonder if they would have given her a credit card, too.
