Who can give me good university advice?

I’m in junior college trying to get an AA degree in Anthropology, I currently live with a boyfriend and living off of money that I saved. Later I’d like to get a more advanced degree at a university but want to afford to live on my own by then, I won’t be able to work while going full time and I am certainly not going part time. Any advice on how to get student loans?

Answer #1

I hate to see kids start their career with a big college debt. I know too many young adults who have run up student loans then after graduating not able to find a job that pays enough to live a decent life let alone pay back their loan.

Why not work full time go to school part time? You can get life experience working as well as academic knowledge in school.

Answer #2

My brother-in-law did exactly that Fillet, Went to school actually has 2 masters degrees and over $180,000 in student loans. He makes $42,000 a year. I sell cars and make more than that and no student loans to pay back. I’d recommend the full-time job and part-time school. May take you a little longer to graduate but will be a step ahead after graduation.

Answer #3

help first thing first think about the possibilities of paying rent if you don’t intend to breakup with him just stick it out keep saving maybe get an part time job after/before school so when you finish with college you have a place to live
