This is coming from a hs senior who’s only “worked” 1 day a week for two years. Assuming I take the limit for the # of classes in the fall, how much could I expect to work? How much could I expect to make a month? I may get a work study thing on campus, but it’s only 2k/academic year. I’m assuming the limit is a standard #…

I ask because it just dawned on me that if I somehow get 1k each month, I would not have to borrow outside of the Direct loans, at least for this year.

To me, 1k is a ton. My mom said that I may be able to “borrow” from her.

It would be for the TMS thing. This way, I figure I could avoid paying unessesary $$ on interest fees that would otherwise come from the PLUS loan.

I plan on modifying my habits, too. Good Will, store-brand everything, etc. The hardest thing will be food - I like organic stuff haha.
