>how do I make money if I can't get free money?

It's honest advice, idiot. I worked to earn money for college, then worked part time to go to full time college. It's not uncommon.

Join the military if you want though. They aren't blowing smoke up your ass when they promise all those perks or anything. Not at all.

All of this.

Scholarships, too. I am a full-time student and I work part-time, but I rake in so much scholarship money I could literally quit my job and still live comfortably. But there's that one issue, experience. You know, the thing employers hire people for.

You need experience and recommendations to go with that degree if you actually want the damn job when you graduate.

That was one of my options I was thinking of. Getting into a trade and saving money so I can afford uni. This >>17440473 isn't me btw.

I was looking into scholarships! Do you really think I can keep getting them(Provided that I maintain the grades) to actually cover 95% of my school fees?

I plan on going to PA school after, which is another huge fucking thing that needs money, so I'm not worried about experience too much I suppose. But I understand what you mean.

You have no bills and you work.

Is saving money for college that complicated an is for someone who had "above average grades" in high school?

>>17440509
I made stupid decisions. I have two "credit" cards(At department stores) which I needed to use in an emergency and I owe them, plus I took out a $500 personal loan which I am trying to pay back as well.

All in all, I owe about $1500 to various entities. It's hard saving part time, because since my grandparents are retired, I have to give them rent in order to pay the house bills.

LEARN A TRADE.

I wish I would have skipped college and done this. It's mostly recession proof, you make decent money out of the gate especially if you stick with it, and there's what's a need for you if you're any good.

>cover 95%
Absolutely, anon. It's all about grades and having the right recommendations and being able to write some good essays.

I've got a 3.9gpa and I pretty much edge out all of the competition during scholarship season. Just stay focused on your studies and everything will fall into place. Just keep the GPA high, as the average GPA at Colombia, Harvard, and Cornell is like 3.4.

The 3.9's? They pay us to study.

Hot damn my man.

I will definitely look into this. Due to some circumstances in high school, I know one of my state congressmen rather well.

She told me that if I ever needed a favor, just call her. Hopefully she remembers heh.

Danke for the info.

Also, if you are still here: Where would I start to look into these scholarships? Or any scholarships, just so I can get my foot in the door.
