Poll: How did you pay for college?

Question

Grants, loans, self-pay or all of the above? Did you work while in college? Did you live at home?

Answer 1

Nothing

I did not go to college.  Last year I made $ 150,000.  I own my home in one the priciest neighborhoods in the country.  

Don't think that college is an automatic guarantee of success or that not going is an automatic guarantee of failure.  Universities are businesses that need customers.  If what you want to do with your life requires college then go. If you do not know what you want to do why not wait a few years and try and find out.

Answer 5

Well I did it the hard long way. I went to work for a company locally who I learned a lot of skills from. Then I took advantage of the tuition reimbursement and went to a University and got my Bachelors on their dime.

Answer 6

First two years, good old Mom and Dad paid, provided I attended a local community college.  They paid the basics, I worked PT for books, bus fare and other miscellaneous "stuff".

Took three semesters off to work FT and save $$, then went  away to a state college in upstate NY.  Took some loans, but paid cash for whatever possible, and worked PT at JC Penneys while attending classes.

Answer 7

Cal Grants A & B, Pell Grans, Student Loans, and working part time Monday, Wednesday, and Friday while attending classes on Tuesday and Thursday.
