Anyone Else Have To Pay For Your College?

I should graduate in May with Sociology degree (please do not laugh!) But outside of a little help here and there, I paid for everything or took out loans. My prospects for making a lot of money are not great but I might land a job with the state. Did you pay your own way?

I did, but that was long ago and far away and college was much less expensive.

@MarineBob As I recall, tuition, room & board and books was around $7500. Now it's $53k and change.

@Mamapolo2016 I am working at one now with zero dollars tuition but the students are required to work 15-20 hours a week on campus

Nor in mine. As soon as I was a sophomore, I became a dorm advisor - discount - and in junior and senior years, dorm 'supervisor' (housemother) - free room and board and 24 hour duty. Plus teaching assistant and switchboard operator.@JustinOnTheRoad
