If this thread is what you consider a handling yourself to a positive outcome then...
Also, to flying_squirrel^ not all of us have parents that pay for school. I happen to be earning college on my own (sweat equity and some small loans).
Are you kidding? Schooling yes, university no. If you want to do post high school studies than it is up to you. If you're parents are wiling to pay for it then you're incredibly lucky! But most people me included have to pay for it themselves...
maybe things are different in the US, but it is really really really rare for a kid to fund his own college education alone. im mean think about it: lets say that through high school you manage to maintain a full time job that pays 9 dollars an hour (first of thats totally unrealistic because no 14 year old is getting hired at 9 dollars for 40 hrs a week, and even if they did it would be really hard to keep that up for 4 years while going to school. but for the sake of the argument we will pretend thats possible). at the end of the four years of high school he would have a little more than 65000 dollars after taxes. thats enough for 2, maybe 2 and a half, semesters of a decent college or university. there no way someone is going to be able to pay for college without funding from parents.
nicely put, and in most states if you are a high school student law forbids you from working over 20hrs per week during the school year. So even that estimate is a little high!
Yup. Unfortunately they're all guaranteed by the gov as well. You can pretty much borrow infinity for college. That's why the cost goes up every year.
That said, the idea that you have to have cash money for the amount to go to school is retarded. If they instituted that policy next year there would be about an 8th of the kids still in school.
true story, i admit that i completely forgot about loans. however, i still dont personally know anybody who is paying for college by themselves. if youre in the upper middle class i think its pretty normal to have your parents fund it for the most part.
I am a junior at a university, and I have not yet met one person in my 3 years who is on or has gotten loans. my econ class looked at the universities polling of this as well, there were like 300 out of 20,000 students using loans, so pretty much if you dont have at least middle class parents or a fuck ton of motivation you probably wont be going to school
