There are thousands of young people with great future but no parents or guardian to support them financially. In their attempt to realize their dreams they decide to work to be able to pay for tution/school fees. This group of people tend to suffer a lot before they arive at desired destinatin in life. What kind of job do you think they should do to make things a lot easier for them.

In my country, there are some foundations offering to pay for their tuition. At the same time, giving them a shelther to live. I really am amazed with this people who despite financial restraint, were determine to finish school. I could have easily give up. Sadly, there are those who have the money but refuse to continue their education. Life's like that.

charms88, it is really amazing what life has for different people at different times. Like you just said, some have the money but refuse to continue their education, where others have the zeal (and the brain) but just couldnt afford, or have to go through hell to make it. Your piece of comment, I believe will be helpful to some of these people. But what happens to those of them who do not have such foundations going on in their countries?

I was once of those young people who worked my way through college. I worked for 4hours a day at our school wherein they extend free 100% tuition and book allowance to students who renders at 4hours of work in their offices. It was a good experience for me because i get to learn office procedures and meet with different people well ahead of others. I just do some tutoring (college algebra) 3 times a week for 2 hours each session so that i have money for allowance. But when i got another scholarship on my third year which doesnt require me to render work in school, i went to work in a fastfood as cash auditor which was able to answer all my needs.
