I would say just get the loans. Study something that makes sense and just get the loans. Also, to get a better part time job ... Well, are you applying to positions. Keep learning and actually apply to positions. If you write your resume well and are energetic, etc in the interview, you have a good chance of finding an employer if you are in a populated area. Hope this helps. :)
- codeonfire 14y agoI agree, looking back, low wage jobs were an incredible waste of time and energy. I would have been better to do some simple business than work. That being said, not everyone qualifies for federal loans due to drug convictions, being a foreign national, and a couple of other exclusions.
- actionbrandon 14y agoyeah, and the inability to just decided to earn 100K+/yr "on the side" should not discourage people from going to college. just make sure you actually learn something.
- nfriedly 14y agoI disagree pretty strongly here. I think that huge college loans make for a terrible start to your career. I'll concede that loans might be a better option than $8/hr, but I freelanced for $50-60 per hour during college and I believe that is absolutely a better option than taking loans. Clearly the OP has some business interest and skill, and while I don't know what freelance writing and content-focused websites would bring in, I'd guess that it's well above minimum wage.
