42 is still young enough for a new career. And do not assume your experience and education will be wasted. It does not. Experience in another field is always worth a lot, as it makes you versatile.

Fuck school sell🍊🍊🍊😜Then read what I wrote. I am telling you how to actually be better off after college on a "net" basis. Debt is only bad if you don't have assets to cover it. If the assets earn more money than the interest cost....you win. Zero interest.

Don't mind Luca. He has absolutely nothing going for him in life and has nothing better to do than lash out at others. As you observed even in a civil topic or discussion he has to resort to petty insults towards others that have nothing to do with the topic at hand. That's because he's invested so much of himself into the game that he no longer knows how to interact with people on a normal level.L U C A wrote:

i love the idea you are giving me.. but are books not a factor? i heard they can be overwhelmingly expensive.Would be about $1500 for
Year 2, $1000 for year 3 and $500 for year 4. So my way you leave college with $5k in your pocket and debt free or if you go your way - you leave college with $0 and debt free. -
I was a server at various restaurants for 15yrs - tips make a good wage But creditors frown upon them when deciding what to loan ya - if you're lucky your main-income for the house you stay at will go for bankruptcy and keep wages low while your in school - maximum help with tuition that way lol - I graduated after 5 yrs and only owed like 7k in loans

Books depend on what you are taking. Just spent C$600 on a kid doing a science degree. A calculus book the size of an encyclopedia. Look for students selling their old textbooks.

Is this sarcasm? Student loans do accrue interest and a shit ton of it while you are in school.PS student loans accrue zero interest while you are in school so if you were smart you would borrow every cent you can and save all that cash you earn at a job and invest it during college and use that plus the investment gains to pay off those no interest loans later. That's what a smart adult would do.

i thought they might, you just dont have to pay on them while enrolled correct?

Forget about your high school ring you'll never wear it. Join the military (preferable The Marines) and get you education paid for and debt free. You're welcome cheers 'Merica! 🍻

thanks for clearing that up.👍
books dont change every year? thats good to know, i can hit up craigslist maybe lol.
thanks everyone for the great advice
-

Tru that, I went the community college for GE's route. Worked out great, I was able to transfer to the college I wanted to and get my degree. Save about $30k in tuitionDon’t put down community colleges so easily. You have to get your GEs done anyway to graduate, so why not do them at a cheaper price? The transferring process isn’t complicated if you talk to the correct counselors and academic advisors.

As Lucy said you can borrow books. There's websites that sell used textbooks as well. Or rentals even. Just have to do your research.L U C A wrote:

These loans have caps on them. You can't just borrow as much as you want. Just for example, I'm in the second best bracket for FinAid and mine caps out at $2,000 per semester. I'm sure it differs depending in tuition amount.Federally subsidized student loans accrue no interest until 6 months after graduation.

I worked at a bowling alley/bar. I still have a little bit of what I made, but most of that went to a computer and a car.

I used to be a banker but I lost interest.

I owned a bakery, but it burned down. Now my business is toast.

See what jobs are available at your school. Many are 20 per week gigs and you get either partial or full tuition paid.

But to answer your original question, I worked in a pharmacy when I was in school. Had a great time and learned so much.

I started off with the city. I did a lot of volunteer work for the school I was with and during that time I started talking to the people actually running the events (tree planting and beach cleaning type of things) that I actually got hired from them because of how well I worked. Was above minimum wage for sure but it's hard to find anything higher than minimum wage when you're young especially at 16. But just keep looking. If you find something good bug the shit out of them. Be as persistent as possible. If you get to the point you feel like you're doing too much, do more. That shows you're determined to work and you're serious. If you can bug them by showing up in person rather than calling. That's even better.
-
You can also get multiple part time jobs.
