CU student donates architectural services in exchange for tuition

I'm an architecture student at the University of Colorado @ Boulder. The traditional ways of paying for college through student loans, grants and personal savings is no longer sustainable in this economy.

Tuition is up 7-14%
Cost of living is up 4-15%
Wages don't keep up, if you can even get a job.
How can anybody pay for college these days?
There has got to be a better way to pay for college than through massive student debt. So I came up with one.

I am providing my architectural, design and educational services to the community, dollar for dollar, in return for financial support to finish college.

Obama said in his nomination acceptance speech, "If you commit to serve your country or community, we will make sure you can afford a college education."


Obama is busy right now so I came up with my own plan to pay for college by donating my services to the community in return for financial support.Who needs the government when we can do it ourselves?

I think I found a better way to pay for college.
