How do some people afford so much college?

Question

While reading forums and y/a and a bunch of other sites and from knowing a couple of my college teachers...I have one question

how do some of these people afford to keep going to college? I mean, some people even afford 3 different degrees from 3 different and very good...expensive colleges...

i know it's not all scholarships or aid because after your first degree it's increasingly hard to get aid. (or so i hear)...are these people paying bills forever or what?

it's like they're addicted to education. I remember for a while i attended CHI institute and I had one teacher who had 3 masters degrees (no, she wasn't pulling chains she really did have it)...the whole time i wasn't impressed because all I could think was she wasted her money...after all she was only a teacher at an accelerated certificate course school.

so if you have many degrees or if you know somebody please explain to me why, how and if you're paying a lot of student loans??

Answer 1

a lot of people don't have to pay for grad school. especially in the sciences and several people in the other departments as well. The school hires grad students for random positions like research assistant or teacher assistant or something so that they are considered empoyees and don't pay tuition plus get paid additional with benefits.

Answer 2

If you stay in school you don't have to pay back student loans.  I have heard of people who just keep borrowing becuase they can not afford to make the payments and they just stay in school getting into more debt.
