A College Education for Free? I love it!

I was reading The Economist Magazine when an article titled "How to make college cheaper" caught my eye, of course.  Having just read that tuition in the UK just skyrocketed and yet Germany decided to not make students pay any tuition in some parts of the country, this article was something I knew I had to read.

The University of the People is a free online university and the link is noted above.  It looks great.  I have applied to be volunteer faculty yet they already have 2,000 volunteers and only 1,000 students.  It is a global university, using the internet to offer free (minus a small admissions fee and some $ for teachers grading exams, etc) yet all in all, you can get a Bachelor's degree in Business, Economics or General Studies.

I hope they pick me.  I love people who do stuff like this.

FREE INTERVENTIONS FOR FAMILIES WHOSE LOVED ONES ARE STRUGGLING WITH A SUBSTANCE

I WILL DO FREE INTERVENTIONS FOR FAMILIES WHO HAVE LOVED ONES WHO ARE AT THE LAST STOP. Formal Interventions used to be free in Illinois. Does anyone remember that? I do. I am a Licensed Couple/Family therapist and in order to stop interventionists who are charging any money, let alone ridiculous amounts of money for ripping you off, I will do this at no cost. Yes, I have experience. I have done them, and they are difficult for you, the family. Not me. Yet I care about people living instead of dying, and I am angry with counselors and therapist who are preying on misery of families, and taking what is supposed to be a Step of Alcoholics Anonymous and Charging for it. That is against the Traditions of AA. And they know it.
Now, I cannot afford transportation or anything as I am not employed right now at all yet I will do my best to assist you.
These interventions should be saved for the person who you believe you may never see again because they may die from their substance misuse. Other counseling interventions work better than Formal Intervention (which can often tear families apart rather than keeping them together) yet talking about it and getting the details will help determine that.
Don't pay a penny for an intervention. Please.
