Perpetual Students

[Merlin]

Her husband is in college right now at a nationally accredited diploma mill.

Not to nitpick, but if a college is nationally accredited and accepts financial aid, it is NOT a diploma mill. It is probably just an expensive, but legitimate for-profit college. There are a lot of those schools and many of them seem focused on getting students to sign up for financial aid and then keep them in school for as long as possible to milk them for the financial aid money.

To be clear, particularly for others who may read this in the future, the term "diploma mill" specifically refers to companies or individuals that masquerade as a college and sell fake degrees, or unaccredited colleges that provide degrees that are not legitimate.
