I cant get a job without college but I cant pay college without a part time job. I dont make a lot with grants only 3200 and everything costs 1000s. There is schools I could go to and they would help me do what I really want to do and things I am good at but they cost way too much. Even for the community schools I dont make enough. What do I do?
The job :(
School is extremely important, but if money is hard for you (as really for most) and you can get money working now, then pick the job.
Sad reality.
Kind of have to agree with hokisgurl. Maybe you need to take the job and then make a job for yourself. Try street performing/vending, find something cheap that people will buy and market and sell it, sell anything you don't need online, research community aid programs to see if they can help, or apply to be a student worker at a community college. If you offer to work there, you'll have a reduced tuition and it won't cost as much. Take the job first, though, and then once you have the money, take night classes, once or twice a week. (It will take longer but you won't be as stressed out.)
Are you sure college is worth it for you these days? So many graduates are jobless with huge 6 figure debts, that I think one should honestly consider the cost/benefits before making the decision to go to college.
Honestly, if you have the grades and are way above the necessary entrance requirements, you shouldn't have too much trouble getting in. But it will take a lot of hard work on your part, researching, networking and proving yourself worthy of those few spots left open for those with the desire without the where with all.
Good luck.
Apply for financial aid if you are in America. Apply for scholarships, apply for loans. Get a consigner if you have to. An education is the most valuable thing you can give yourself.
Before the tuition fees increased a few years ago in England I manages to pay for my MSc with a career and personal development loan which I've been paying back afterwards. There may be something similar in America.
well thats a shame ...can u spend hardly nothing to live and pay the college?
