one thing my daughter did - is she gets enough financial aid and scholarship money that with just a $25 a week allowance from us- everything is paid - but she's borrowed all the subsidized loans she's allowed and put that money in the credit union - she earns a little bit of interest and at only 4% starting after she graduates -if she pays it back within six months of graduating - there's no interest so she keeps what little she earns - depending on where things are when she's done - she might even keep the money and use it toward a downpayment on a house -- HarmyBoard LifeStyles

In reply to: TF 's message, "I want her to be independent thats true, I'm just not ready for it. It seems to have happened so fast. Also, she will not be getting any kind of student loan. If she cant get grants or scholarships then she will go to a community college. I know way too many people who are in their 30's still struggling to pay for student loans." on 15:11:16 11/06/11 Sun

[> [> [> [> She wants to get her bachelors in radiology. She wants to get a job, maybe pulling weekend call, then she can go back to school if she wants to zero in on a particular area like CT imaging or MRI maybe even ultra sound/sonography. She was wanting to do Radiation Therapy but she got thinking about all the kids she may have to treat and it would hurt her heart too much. -- TF, 21:45:03 11/06/11 Sun [1]

[> [> [> [> [> Excellent. There are always jobs in the medical field. And there are usually lots of opportnities for internships, volunteering, candy-striping and such. All that hands-on will boost her resume. -- The Chief, 07:01:05 11/07/11 Mon [1]
