It's tempting to call this problem one of the most serious facing our nation, but brain power is something which cannot be squandered with the planet on the brink of such catastrophic circumstances. It is unconscionable to cut so many off from a future which would enrich their lives, and possibly all of our lives.

OK, 4 years at a UC may not be in the picture but two years at a JC then transfer to a UC. It's been done by many in your situation. No shame in that.
