At place where I teach, only small minority of students pays tuition, most have their education paid by state.
Saddest part is that reason to study for most of them is simply pressure from their parents or from peers, so good luck finding motivation in there.
Once had a scammer tryna catfish me in a similar way.
Some time into conversation other person randomly mentions "by the way, I do webcams, you can see here [website]... and yeah, it will ask for credit card data - but it's just to keep kiddies out". ๐
