I used to yell at Matt Avenatti for running thru my barn, yelling at the top of his lungs and banging into stuff. He's a really sharp kid, and has a cousin, Dad, Uncle, and Grandad in the harness biz.

Wat to go Matt!

The way things are going, people are going to have to go to a community college and get an associates degree, work with that for a few years until turning 25 so theirs parents income don't effect financial aid, then work part time while they get their bachelors degree and get financial aid.
