“Not impossible but hard. My granddaughter who has chosen to pay for most of her graduate degree is doing it. She works 20 hours a week, does” Practicum 21 hours a week and has 15 hours and all the homework that goes along with it.
She has a job that pays $22 an hour not many students can get that kind of job.
She also lives in a 4 bedroom home that belongs to her parents and only pays $200 a month plus 1/4 of the utilities and food because she has 3 housemates.”
That is quite amazing!
If your granddaughter earns $22.00 and hour for her 20 hour per week job, she is grossing $22,880 per year and after taxes she will net $16,000.
She gets a great deal on rent, but after rent she has $13,600.00 and that is before utilities, food, medical expenses.
Tuition and fees for the cheapest public schools in the country are $20,000.00 per year.
Not here, her tuition was less than 7K and she had 6K saved from working through her first 4 years.
Her undergrad tuition was paid by scholarships.
