Going 20k into debt for school vs saving up over a year for it

>>18520753
If you can save up 20k in a year without having to live on water and bread, why go to school at all?

>>18520760
I'll only be able to make 12k and I will have to live on Ramen and shit

>>18520760
Because I'm living with my parents

there are those who either arent capable of doing so or would highly prefer not to, keep in mind

False dilemma

Do community college into cheapest state university near you. You can do 2/3 of your course requirements at the CC for 1/4 the cost. The average debt for a person who went through CC first is only 15k. State schools on average charge just 7-8k per academic year.

So yeah, if you're going to do college, and you're poor, then do it frugally, or don't do it at all. It's not worth taking on 50k+ in debt like the average person is doing, unless you're heading into a career with immediate results, e.g. accounting, nursing, engineering.
