Going to school..

I hate student loans. No idea how to get money for them. and going to school doesnt mean will find a job nether. but years of income it takes to pay back loans :(.

I walked out owing nothing. I took AP classes in high school equivalent to a semester and a half at university. I took summer gen eds at the community college which was cheaper than the university I attended during the regular year. I got a few scholarships and I worked. I worked about 15 hours a week all through the school year, and then worked as seasonal help where I could work as many hours as I wanted at minimum, or just above minimum wage without overtime. My last semester was kind of tough because I could not work and student teach(I signed a contract to get into an exclusive program). My parents loaned me some money which i paid back the summer after graduating, and then got a job right away. My husband just finished paying them off after 7 years. We could have paid it off earlier, but wanted to have a higher down payment for our house which lowered our mortgage interest rate.

I am not going to go to college most likely, and if I do it will be with money I've already gotten, that is to say I'll only pay for a few courses up front out of my own pocket. As it is I don't know what I want to study anyway and so I'm not too concerned about it. I definitely don't want to go into debt, I'd rather work retail (which isn't too bad anyway) then anything else.

yeah its kinda scary thinking about all that, for me im moving to canada from the states but before i do that im going to take a year to work and save up around 20 thousand dollars so i'll be able to pay all my living expenses and school books and such, i am going to go in to Programming which for me it doesnt matter which college but just to pass the programming test but the higher my education is the more i get paid, my technologies teacher made about 375k a year but he had his masters so hoping it works out for me

It is really expensive to go to college these days. I can't believe how the tuition keep on increasing every year.I'm a part time college student and working full time.Fortunately, the company i work for paid all my tuition expenses and books.all i have to do is maintain a c grade every class or i have to pay the company back. I believe in getting education and this is a great opportunity to pass.It was hard at first since i have little ones but with the right time management and a will to succeed, i'm in my last year of my degree.
