I'm not in college, but plz answer this question!?

Question

I'm going to be a sophmore btw.

Anyway, In college, with classes and studying, and homework, and just being busy in college, how do you have time to get a job soo you can pay off everything?

College people or people out of college only!! Or anybody that knows!

How do you manage??

Answer 1

Go to school's financial aid office.  Fill out everything they have.  Your best bet would be to find a job on campus.  There are many jobs - food service, janitorial, groundskeepers, secretarial, laundry, etc.  The school will work around your class schedule.  They will limit the number of hours so it won't interfer with your grades.  You won't waste time driving to and from your job.

Answer 2

You're asking excellent questions, but I think a little more research will reassure you, too.

Many (in fact MOST) college students attend college with the assistance of financial aid. Financial aid comes in many forms, and your eligibility for the different forms will depend on your financial need and sometimes your academic progress and potential.

The most common forms of financial aid are loans (which you must eventually pay back), grants (which are gifts to you, usually from the college or the federal government), scholarships (often based on your academics, but not always) and work-study programs (that allow you to work part-time, often on campus, and be paid).

Just about every college in the US is committed to providing the financial assistance that their students will need to pursue an education. When it comes time to apply to colleges, you will complete a federal government form known as a FAFSA (free application for federal student aid).

The FAFSA asks questions about the financial circumstances of you and your parents - their annual income, what kinds of investments they might have, their savings, etc. Certain kinds of property that your parents own are not included - for example, the value of your parent's primary residence is not part of the government's analysis of your family's financial circumstances.

Once the government processes your forms (it takes about 6 weeks), they will send the information to any colleges that have accepted you. The financial aid office at those colleges will use the information from the FAFSA to identify all of the financial aid programs that you are eligible for. You'll receive an "aid offer" from the school, and you and your parents will be free to accept any, all, or none of the aid that is offered.

For most students, a significant part of the aid that you are offered takes the form of government-guaranteed loans. These loans are "government guaranteed" because the federal government has promised lenders that they will pay off the loans if the borrowers are unable (or refuse) to pay for them. This makes the loans risk-free for lenders, so they're more than happy to lend at very low interest rates to young people without any credit history. The three best things about these loans for students is that:

1. They're easy to qualify for

2. The interest rates are much lower than any other type of educational loan

3. You don't have to begin paying them back until after you have completed your degree program

The government also offers another popular loan program, the PLUS program, which makes money available to parents who might need additional funds to help pay for their children's education.

College financial aid is meant to provide funds to cover the costs of your tuition, your housing, your food, your books, and various miscellaneous expenses, including a computer and transportation back and forth to school each year. Again, as I noted earlier, most schools offer each accepted student aid that is equal to their entire demonstrated financial need.

If you intend to complete your college degree on a pay-as-you-go, completely-out-of-your-own-pocket basis, hey, more power to you. Given the rising costs of educational expenses, that would be quite the accomplishment.

Most students use financial aid assistance to make it through school, sometimes working part time to offset some of the expenses, to provide coursework-related experience, and to earn enough for those late night pizzas and spring break vacations. If you do need to borrow (and most students do) you should think about that as an investment in your future.

I hope that helped!

Answer 3

your best bet is to work in school or at a place that is going to be really understanding if you cant make it to work one day. Im working and going to school right now and ill tell you that its hard and your basically working for food and gas money so dont get a job unless you absolutly have to. dont be scared of a loan either. and say no to credit cards! hope this helps.

Answer 4

Well basically you probably will have to take a few classes and see if you can find work somewhere but to tell you the truth, finding work right now is not easy. But if you really need to pay off loans or other financial situations then look for a job while you are in school. Yes it will be hard but that is what I did and it really paid off. I am currently going to attending concorde college and i am taking to medical assistant course....i  got some loans but the cool things about that is that i dont pay until 6 months after graduation...so see about that. I hope that this is helpful!! Good Luck!
