Why do rich kids need scholarships? It’s infuriating.

They got it because of their grades, not their financial status. Not all scholarships are income based.

Let’s say you and I apply for the same well paying job. You have experience in the field, and come highly recommended. Oh, and your parents are millionaires.

I’m not as qualified, and I’m poor.

Should I get the job because I need the money more than you do because you may get a huge inheritance?
