I attended an in-state public university and paid the full in-state tuition from 1998-2001. I worked a retail position at an office supply store for 2 years before taking a help desk position at a small company. With both jobs I worked part-time during fall and spring semesters and full-time during the summer to pay for tuition. > If so, that probably makes you the exception rather than the rule.
