The cost of college per year at a private institution is more than a middle class family income. Thankfully, scholarships, grants, and a few loans helped me through it. But now that I'm on the verge of graduating, figuring out a way to pay for grad school is another challenge. I imagine that I'll be about $40,000 in debt by the time I receive a masters. After being in undergrad for six years (yes six), my debt has only accumulated up to $15,000. I thought maybe I should work straight after college and raise money for grad school and pay off some debt. Then again, I don't want to start grad school when I'm 26 years old either. Perhaps, if I go to grad school straight from undergrad, I can atleast hold off on paying the debt until I get a job with a master's degree. *fickle* :( :unsure:

you may be able to find a company that might cover a part of your tuition if you do both school and work at the same time. you won't have a life though hehe. but i think you should be able to find fellowships/scholarships that may cover your costs enough so that you won't have to take off a year to solely work.

need to use and abuse these evil corporations <_<

i wonder why tuition is so expensive these days. :frown: I go to a state university, *and* I'm paying private school prices. :pissed: :pissed:

I pray that having gone will make a difference in the future ...
