Work! I don't have enough time!

Answer 1

Whoa... take a breather.  Write it down, make a plan and then make sure your expenses don't exceed your income (loans/grants/pt job).  If you need to change your lifestyle a little, it may come to that.  Start by reading the article below.  You can do it, just have to carefully plan it out and stick to the plan.  email me if you need more help. I was there once.

Answer 2

apply for loans

Answer 3

I have found a way to make some extra cash online. It's not going to get you rich and does not cost anything at all. It works on a pay-per-click and referral basis. I have compiled a list of sites I have made money with and put them on my website. I will put the link below. Like I said you are not going to get rich doing this. But I bet you could use your school to get others to do this as well. Which means you refer them and they click and you get paid without spending alot of time. Check it out. IT COSTS NOTHING!!

Answer 5

yea loans, you can get a loan big enough for school to cover your tuition and then they add living expenses to that. it helps

Answer 6

Is it that you don't have enough time or money? Or both? If you dont have enough time than I would strongly suggest that you pick an hour or two out  of the week to go over all of you expenses for the month, food, rent, utilities bills, personal stuff etc. It's really important that you do this because you can easily loose track of how much money you have, especially while your in college, trust me I know, Im a junior in college now and time and money management save my life!  

On the other hand, if you dont have enough money, I would suggest really examining your expenses and seeing if you can do without some of them. If you need all of them, then take out a small loan, get a cosigner if your credit is new.

Good Luck!

Answer 7

I know plenty of people who needed money for college and found time to work.  It's not hard, you just need to be disciplined about how you spend your time.  Even if you really have classes non-stop from 8am to 4pm, you can easily wait tables, bag groceries, or work a cash register, from 5-11.  You do that five days a week and put in a full work-day on Saturday, you've almost put in a 40-hour work week, and you still have time for all your classes, plus all day Sunday to study.

If you schedule your classes right, you can have room to put in a full 8 hours M-F, and then have the whole weekend off.  I know someone who paid his whole college tuition working at Applebee's, and he made the dean's list and played football (no scholarships because it's Div3).

A girl I know got a job as an afternoon receptionist and did her homework in between answering phone calls.  She was on student government and showed up at pretty much every party on campus, so don't tell me you don't have time to find a job like everyone else.

Answer 8

Maybe you don't.  You may have to pare back your academic load and work more hours.  Be wary about student loans as advised above.  You can get yourself deep into debt which cannot be discharged through bankruptcy.

Answer 9

You've got a few choices:

A) postpone it until you can afford it.  Work full time flipping burgers until you've got enough cash to return.

B) seek grants & or loans.

C) do a co-op placement.  You'll get academic credit and cash for working your way in your field through your studies.

D) reduce spending, and increase income.  Look up websites like 'thedollarstretcher.com'.  It's amazing how cheap yet filling potatos and bananas can be.  You can survive on less than $1 per meal if you plan a menu carefully, and shop for groceries once a week.

Answer 10

If you can, get help from your family and apply for grants and scholarships to supplment your federal aid.  Sell your blood plasma for about an extra $200 a month, but don't be drinking alcohol as that will elevate your liver enzymes and they won't accept your plasma.  Well all that's a temporary income fix.  Now, for a long-term income fix, I suggest you get a free web store from my site, www.wealthjunction.

jdpremiumproducts.com  and make money from retails sales and from the purchases of your downline.  Good way to make money now and build a repeat monthly income for your future.

Answer 11
