I do have resources in the UK, and a lot of means to get student aid for prospective STEM students. It’s not about positivity but how hard you’re willing to work for it. I’m not tryna force you but want you to know you have support if you really want to try 🤍

And I believe in you completely! It’s just the system doesn’t want everyone to have access and for some people it’s harder, nearly impossible. But people like me exist to support people like you. Hmu if you ever decide to go down that route!

My point in bringing up my experience, is you can. Despite all valid excuses someone might have, nothing is actually stopping that besides you. It took me way longer than most because I had to figure the funding out too. If you genuinely are interested in pursuing physics, I can help with resource

Yeah, and in that context.. I was homeless and had no money for 80% of my degree. I also had no high school diploma when I started. Point is, it’s about passion, even if the lack of finances makes it seem impossible.

I was homeless when I started my journey to becoming a physicist. It’s not really a money thing, but a passion thing.

And then someone I help was actually an imposter and uses the funds to cause even more chaos? It would be terrible.

What if I make a bet and use all the profits to help those affected? Ez gg

The reality is, we were bought and sold.

Because billionaires so desperately want people to believe they could’ve been physicists if they wanted to. It’s a weird attempt to make money and intellect equivalent..

Why

Step one: make sure it’s hard and financially detrimental for impoverished people to attend college.. step two: only fund universities with predominately privileged students.. step three: profit..
