I really do not understand why anyone goes into college debt. I guess if you lack motivation to work the system and want to just party, I could see that.
Most people I grew up with did not have to go into debt for college.
- Go to college while in high school (running start program). You can get a degree by the time you finish high school free and clear and 3 months of college = 1 years of high school credit so you can stop going to high school all together if you want. I even know someone who got their GED in 8th grade, stopped going to junior high, and got a masters 100% paid for using this program.
- Get a contractor tech job that has to lay you off by law every year for 3 months, or work on a crab boat, or anything that is seasonal where you can get unemployment, or even just suck at your job so they lay you off. Secure unemployment insurance then apply to the state unemployment college plan. There is limited spots so make sure you sign up in the morning it is offered. Rinse and repeat.
- Work for a company that pays for college. I know several people who got 4 to 8 years paid for by the company and much of the work could be done at work during slow times.
Don't waste your time in college.
- Learn to code by the 100's of free resources online. Secure 100k a year job in about 6 months to a year of self teaching.
- Be an apprentice electrician, plumber, etc
- Use that money you would have used for college to buy a duplex in college town, become a property manager and make money off stupid college students borrowing the money for their rent.
