nowdays tuition and fees for college are much higher than ever before .

how to finance one's college education has become a matter of great concern for many people , thee young students and their family.

actually just as there is more than one way to skin a cat so it seems we can deal with tuition and fees in many ways.

some can get all the neede money from their parents . some others can apply for a loan specially set up for college students . still others can also raise the

money completely by themselves , by doing a fu-time job in the summer and winter holidays . or even others can ask their parents to prvide the greater part

and earn the rest in their spare time by doing a part-time job.

in my opinion , the last method may prove to be quite benneficical in many respects.

I've earned myself a tuition waiver that covers all, but the last $200 of tuition for 4 years. I am applying for a couple more scholarships to finish that up and then pay for books. I live at home so room and board will be free and my dad pays for everything car-wise so I'm pretty much set for a free ride through college. I do plan on interning at IBM though to make a little extra money and get more training in the computer programming area, but other than that, nothing too special.

If you don't mind spending time off of campus students can always work on a part time job that doesn't blow. You know, like Fed Ex for example, they have a high quantity of help needed and still they don't feel compelled to let you go as quickly as other quick hires would. In fact in some stations I would say that the quick hiring is almost too good to be true, you just have to go through one interview and a drug test. Nothing wierd or nothing, the benefits for this type of job rocks. You even get tuition reimbursement up to or less than $3000 per year. C average for a community college and B- average for graduate school as minimum for gaining this benefit active. Just a quick suggestion to getting through college a little easier, my brother has been doing so for years and is almost done.

A good way to save a bit of money on college is to go to a local community school for your first few years and get through all your general education classes, and then you can go on to a state college or whatever. Getting a job can help, but it usually doesn't pay for all your tuition unless you're at some big company and they say "we'll pay for the rest of your college if you come and work for us."
Also, if you're in a low income family but have decent grades, most colleges will give you some grants, which is nice. Other than that you just have to be amazing and hope you can get a full scholarship I guess.

i agree with your mind that somebody could go to a local community school for saving same money .

getting a part-time job is also a good way to earn some money for tuition.

Yes its true nowadays tuition fees are really higher than ever before.Actually the tuition teachers are nowadays just teach to earn money ,except some who reallly want to share their knowledge with the younger generations.

I would like to be in the past where teachers wanted to share their knowledge with the students

in my opinion the best way to pay for colege is by doing you best from the bigining in highschool and get good grades, and if you dont think you're smart that you can always do clubs for stuff you like or play sports and get involve in your comunity, what i'm saying is that the best and easiest way to pay for colege is with schorlarships and belive me there's a scholar ship for almost anything seriously. and best of all its free education and who doesnt want free stuff. the only down part is you gotta start your first year of high school if you slack off or you decide that you actualy want to do something with your life by your junior or senior year it'll be very hard to get a scholarship by then, then you'll have to settle for loans and your parents and family.

I agree. The economy has changed for the better or worse.

A part-time job would be best yes. If you're not in Uni/College at the moment, start having a job and start saving now, the sooner the better.

Although, when going to either Uni/College, you can still have a part-time job, and then a full-time in the Summer, yes I do agree.

For me, because I'm not exactly rolling in money, I think I'll have to get a student loan. I'm already working, and I can see the difficulties, what with your job, your education and your social life.

But yes, education costs nowadays, but you'll be thankful for it when you are rolling in the money through your good job, applied by your education.

I think that study hard and doing your best from the begining in highschool and get good grades for scholarship is also a good way to pay our tuition .

study hard for the university /College scholarship . but this way is only for few students . many students have to get a part-time job for their

tuition .
