Moses: Hullo. [Shake hands.] I’m Moses Yoder. Where are you from, David?
David: Goshen, Indiana. How about you?

Financing a career is not an easy task, every day thousands of students are faced with the reality that they can't finance their college tuition or their parents can't do it on their own anymore.
