Paying for College While Attending

Paying for College While Attending

Author: ListenMoneyMatters.com | Andrew Fiebert and Matt Giovanisci February 16, 2015 Duration: 52:23
College costs have skyrocketed over the last several years.  So unless you want to graduate with crippling debt, you’ll need a college job. Ideally you would spend four years with no obligation other than to study (and party) but not working while in college is not possible for many of us. Thomas is our resident college expert and his first suggestion is to carefully consider the cost of your chosen college.  It’s not longer realistic to attend the best college you can get into.  Not if that college is tens of thousands of dollars more expensive than a second tier choice.
