Is a higher tuition worth the experience?

How much will paying the extra put you and your family out? If your parents are in no position to help at all, even in dire financial straits themselves, not worth it for you to get them to borrow and you have to pay it all back. What you are shooting to do is not going to be paying so much that repaying those loans is going to be easy especially without parental help. Also, you will likely have to take more classes as a teacher even as you are paying back those loans, and sometimes a lot of that tuition comes out of pocket

I know a lot of young people in the teaching field; they have to continue courses even as they are paying off their loans. Many are at low paying private schools as they do this. Without some parental help in living expenses or loan repayment, it’s a tough go financially. SaphireNY brings up some excellent points in her/his post to consider and investigatel.

However, there are usually ways to meet those who are like you, even if the area and the school are lean in that regard. My friend from college has lived most of her life as a Muslim in the frozen tundra where the numbers are low in those of her faith. Yet she has raised her children in it and they have all found spouses and SOs in it. She and her husband have always found or made their way in whatever community they have joined, which due to scarcity of work in his field has been economically driven.
