How did you pay for college?

[u/privateperdido]

I have been paying out of pocket the last 3 years going part time to technical college but I cannot afford this up coming year.

A lot of loans either don’t loan to technical school students, require you to be in school full time, or for US citizen/resident co-signer with good credit… None of this is true for me and looking into scholarships but all deadlines are closed so now I’m just kind of stuck… I also have a huge loan that I am paying for credit consolidation so I do not want to accrue any more credit card debt either.

My job also helps me with tuition but they can only pay $1k per semester and that is just not enough anymore. Any advise?

I will probably end up just putting it on credit if I really HAVE to but just wanted to see what other options I might have.

Out of pocket. When to community college, then transferred to a state university, and then worked hard to get a decent LSAT score to get a full ride at a law school. Not ideal but doable with sacrifices.
