You know the people that wrote that probably didn't think about it as much as you are, right?(Not trashing "Castle" specifically, though I did learn early on that it's not my beautiful cake.) But money on TV is always such a handwave.(Unless the show is like Friday Night Lights or whatever, where it absolutely can't be.)
Bester: Mal. Whaddya need two mechanics for? Mal: I really don't.

Work study is an actual program where the department you work for only pays a very small percentage of your pay, and the rest comes from the financial aid office account (and I am assuming the money comes from the gov't) The other thing is "campus employment" most places. At my university, I can say I will only take work-study eligible students, or I can open my job to everyone. My students make about $10 an hour, but they are prohibited from working more than 20 hours per week.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
Next episode we find out that Alexis and Pi are living in a cardboard box in Central Park.
(Pi totally confuses me, other than as something to annoy Castle. When did someone like that become Alexis' type?)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Of course! I am reminded of the time I posted at Tim Minear the first time and complained about how they portrayed fundraising on Angel. Good times.

Of course, but that particular bit stuck out more than most for me. I would have been able to hand wave it easier if Alexis had said she was paying for it with a paid internship. Because I could see that as her father's daughter she may have been able to pull off some internship that paid really well.

At my last job we had both federal and state work-study money that students could get. They had different percentages that you had to pay along with different restrictions and paperwork. So much fun.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Good times... good times.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Mentalist fans, there is a review of "Red Listed" up at [link] that includes an intriguing analysis of various characters in light of passages in Revelations about the Dragon and the Beast.

Silly Castle writers. If there are a whole bunch of them now they won't be worth 1.5 million each.
