Student loans, grants, scholarships, fellowships, out of pocket, working full-time or part-time, etc.
These are some examples of how people, classmates, acquaintances, and friends pay for their college education.
As of 2012, it was estimated that around 37 million United States citizens had student loan debt.
With increased difficulty in finding jobs that help pay for college, students opt to take the route of student loans in order to complete their degree, but end up in debt and with increasing interest rates.
Other students opt to holding full-time jobs, part-time jobs, applying for scholarships or fellowships, applying for grants if they are eligible, etc.
How do you pay for college?
I work full-time in an office and part-time from home analyzing data from social work studies. Yet, I barely make the payments.
I had the luck of having financial aid during my 2 last years of college; the first 2 years were paid thanks to my parents. Now in grad school with no student debt behind me, I find it increasingly difficult to not take that student loan.
