My parents don't pay my tuition so I have to work and make money so I can spend it on being board 5 hours a day.

I work full time as one of 15 supervisors for a warehouse of 200 employees. I find going to class and then going to work a really big pain in the ass but I figure it is making me a better man for it. I live at home and I help out where I can and this is all i require of my parents.


How many others here have to work to pay their tuition or at least some of their expenses?

If so, what are some of your experiences dealing with a busy lifestyle?

[kreeble]

Forget paying for tuition.. I'm struggling to keep up with my daily living expenses. And that doesn't even factor in my rent every month.

I make about 640 every month (working 19 hr/wk), almost ALL of which goes to eating, going out, unexpected expenses (ipod ._., birthdays, special occasion dinners). I still somehow end up with a credit card debt, though.

I'm glad I have this job though, or I would really have a serious credit card debt problem.

I work 12 hrs a week. its ok... going to work right after class is a big pain though =___=||

[YUNA!]

~__~

me. i work 30 hours a week. i have classes from 9:00 - 4:00. after classes i commute home and work until 12:00 am. the only part i hate is the commute to school. it's a pain in the butt because i have to wake up really early just to get to my morning class. which is really hard since i get like no sleep. but i don't mind my job so i guess it's not that bad. i should be putting money into paying off my loans but there's not much money left when i gotta pay for insurance, food, fun time, and clothes.

I work to buy clothes and stuff; I love not having to ask my parents for an allowance every week lol. My parents pay for tuition and school-related stuff.

['Noche.]

I pay my tuition and bus fares, but with OSAP (student loans) I don't really have to pay too much. It really helps. But I live at home, so all I pay for is school related stuff, and leisure stuff.

I work about 6-12 hours a week during school.

[DKYang]

I work about 13-14 hours of week. I live with my parents and they pay for most of the school stuff like tuition, books, and other expensive stuff. I don't have it as rough as you but dealing with impatient, think they are always right, and stupid customers every friday and saturday at the restaurant is sooo stressful. Just because of this, I sometimes forget what my homework was.

[angelZ]

i pay for my own daily expenses, so i also work part time.
i work 16hrs/week so it's not THAT bad yet...

[ichiban]

i work about 15hrs/week and going to school full time. Yeah its a pain but you're pretty lucky you dont have to pay for rent. I know tuition is another thing and i pay my own tuition too. My parents only give me money when i go back home, even so it's not much. The good news is i work on campus so i never have to drive anywhere. But I basically depend on what i earn working. I usually charge most of the stuff i buy now days, and yeah the bill isn't pretty. Somehow i'm not worried about money though, i just want to save up for a future trip this summer.

[spicyspaghetti6]

i get 9.59/hour and work a little over 16 hours a week. almost all of that money goes to rent

work sucks. if only there was a hot girl in my cubicle...

I am pretty much in the same boat. Right now, I am out of school. I start in January again. Right now, i am required to work at least 45 hours a week but honestly, last semester, I was putting in an average of 50.

I had classes on Monday and Wednesday, 8-5 each day. I would work the other 5 days. Pulling a conventional 9-5 is hard, but the money is good.

Luckily I am in Polisci, I have lived politics all of my life so studying is a breeze. I also have a treo 650 with the net so I can do so quick Wikipedia cramming.

I couldn't imagine how hard my life would be if I was studying say...biology.

[EYJAYJAY]

^u tell me. i work 20 hrs a week, easy job, pay is ok.. i use it to pay for my personal expenses since scholarship covers everything (besides books). but working while trying to study bio is hard

yea i definitely wouldn't be able to do what i'm doing if i had to take science classes.

i'm a finance/accounting major at northeastern and i've heard that the co op hours are grueling for accounting (something like 70 hours a week) but that's not til next year.

even though i get very little sleep, i'm still loving college.

[cHenz--]

i actually do a double job. I worked 8hr/week for one of my job, and work 12hr/week for the others.

Yes, pretty much I used all my earnings for my stupid rent
