Anyone make the transition from Part-Time College Student to Full-time?? How did you do it?

Question

Ever since I was 15 my parents have made me hang on to any job that has come my way. I am now 22, and continue to work full-time. After highschool I was never able to attend college full-time. I have been attending college these past 2 and 1/2 years and have managed to obtain 27 units. Anyway, I would really like to make the change, but have no idea how I would. I have gotten used to getting a steady paycheck, and cant imagine depending on anyone for my income. The fortunate part for me, is that I have no bills, and do not pay rent. How can I stop working and go to school full-time. I dont know much about students loans, but I would like to not have to pay back any loans. Anyone go through a similiar transition?

Answer 1

It will be difficult to pay your tuition if you have no money saved up and no job to pay it.  Scholarships, student loans and part time employment would be all options.

I'm not really sure I understand your question though.  How do i stop working and go to school full time?  you just say "I quit" to your employer!!  With no monthly expenses (and hopefully you have someone to feed you) you will be fine.  Now, if you have a cell phone, medical expenses, car insurance, you obviously can't do that.
