Paying for school out of pocket...
#5
Here's some advice from someone who did it the worst way possible:
  • avoid borrowing anything unless you absolutely have to
  • get any free money like grants you can
  • a big one for me: it's better to underestimate how much you could have gotten done then bite off more than you can chew. For me that meant paying for brick-&-mortar courses, having too many to keep up with, killing myself for weeks while getting unimpressive grades and then inevitably having to drop some of them without getting any money back. :ack: :puke: The worst of all possible worlds.
  • usually doesn't need to be mentioned on this forum because of the crowd, but don't take a $1,000 class if a $140 test gets you the same result. This requires taking things like grad school into account but I see you are already thinking along those lines :coolgleam: .
