I worked full time through college. So much that it often interfered with the time that I needed to be spending on study. I still owe $40k.

My ex husband who’s billionaire family paid his tuition while I paid our bills owes nothing of course.

Hey, your ex husband pulled himself up by his bootstraps! That’s no way to treat the world’s most elite!

I worked part time through college. Summers I had two part time jobs, and a couple summers three that worked with my schedule. Started school with about 10k in savings and finished about 12k in debt.

Edit: I’m also super frugal. Found cheap food, cheap/free furnishings/clothes, cheap housing, pirated textbooks, and rode a bicycle and took the bus to get around.

Wish I could have afforded the time for some unpayed opportunities. Really struggling to find a decent job at the moment. (Studied math at a top university with fairly significant cs experience and decent gpa).

Wouldn’t not recommend college, but man not feeling too good about it at the moment in terms of job opportunities (certainly wouldn’t trade the experience and what I’ve learned for anything though)
