I’m planning to go to college in the fall but I have nothing saved. I plan to get a job as soon as I finish high school but I don’t know what to do if I can’t keep up with tuition. Tuition is 10k annually and I’m probably eligible for 5k in federal loans. Am I going to have to take out private loans or will working throughout college be enough?
I want to note, instead of working throughout high school I’ve been taking dual-enrollment classes after school to save money during college. However, I don’t think it’s gonna make that big of a dent because my career path requires 150 college credits.
