Paying for college

I keep my grades very high so I qualify for scholarships, and I have had to take out all of the loans I can get to help pay bills. I have a work study job because I can study while I am at work, and I will be glad when I have a real job and no longer have to budget my grocery list.

When I went to college I went to a community college for the first 2 years. I lived with my parents. I also worked 2 jobs which I don't recommend but it paid for my car and insurance, and gave me spending money. When I went to college beyond the community college I worked a job at the school a couple of days a week and held a job outside of the school where I worked at for a few hourse before my classes, I was lucky to have afternoon classes. I would go and work a bit of the morning and the lunch shift and then get off work and go right to class. It was stressful but I managed.

When I was a student I worked and studied hard to maintain scholarships. I still had to take out loans and borrowed a ton, but I am glad I worked as hard so it isn't as much as it would be.

I was lucky back then, because my father worked so hard to pay for my college tuition. In return, I felt like that I betrayed his wishes. I didn't really get the job I want, do the work that I supposed studied for. I let him down somehow. To manage to pay for your college, you either borrow a school loan, or find full - time job to pay for it. Otherwise, there is no other magical ways to do so. Good luck.

I am currently a senior in college, for me it has been a little bit of everything. You can try to find a school that is a little more affordable and on top of that you can get a job. I would recommend a part time job with flexible hours at first just in case the course work is more than you expected. If having a job and going to school is to much I would rely on student loans because you dont want your grades to suffer since your already putting so much money into school. I was lucky and recieved a few scholarships which paid for some of my schooling but most of what was left over went to student loans. Also the since your going to college you should be making more money after your done to pay off the extra debt you take on. Make sure you fill out the FAFSA.
