It is absolutely wonderful what Mr. Kadens is doing to help education in this country. It’s too bad some of these other BILLIONAIRES cannot participate in this project instead of building the biggest YACHT in the world! I am 78 years old, a coal miner’s daughter from Pennsylvania, and growing up we only had “enough” to get by, but my family was hard workers. I decided I was going to get a college education, only one in my family of three siblings. Once I started college, I kept going, trying to better myself. I became a college professor and still with student loans to this day, and my job was cut three years ago because of making too much money, $110K and they hired a replacement for $55K. It is hard to make it on social security only so at 78 I went back to work to make ends meet. I thought I would be retired and be comfortable at this age, but this country is so screwed up, it is difficult not only for me but the younger ones. This is why I believe this endeavor of Mr. Kadens is so awesome it brought tears to my eyes for those kids and wish I would have had that opportunity to use my education as well. Every time I apply for a job I get “You are too qualified.” What is “too qualified” if I can do the job and am a hard worker? I wish this project all the blessings in the world!
