I don’t know much about TCNJ. Would it possible to be an RA after freshman year? Would you be interested in that? Do you have the personality to get hired for the job? That might help a lot. Also, besides summer work, you could work 10 hours per week during the school year. You could make approximately $3k per school year doing that (15 weeks per semester x 10 hours per week x $10 per hour. I’ve seen research that students who work 10 hours per week do better academically than students who don’t work and students who work more hours. I think it would be better use of your time than driving about that many hours per week. And I think there can be real pride and satisfaction in earning your education. Good luck, I hope it works out for you!
