Smokin' ain't allowed in school

[cyrano]

Soon they will come to me and tell me what FAFSA will allow me to have toward school.
I am strongly dubious that it will be enough. Therefore I'm going to be looking into alternate sources of funding.
I know there are people on my friends list who are somehow managing to go to school. Are you working part time to do it? Are the jobs sort of minimum wage CoffeeBucks positions? Are there other sources of loans? Is the interest rate hideous beyond all belief?

I have been wanting to do FAFSA, but keep hearing horror stories of getting accepted (I've been told I won't get it because I should have finished my education 10 years ago).

I plan to just put away money in my education fund for future quarters, but will have to ramp it up or get other kinds of funding for SJSU.

I work at a library and it pays very well; I work less than 20 hours a week.

You'll qualify for loans, if nothing else.

thanks.

Can I borrow 10 bucks? :P

So how hard was it to get a job at a library?
Were there prerequisites?

The entry level library work requires only a high school diploma, even for clerk jobs. It does help to have some customer service skills since you will be working with the public.

when I had my interview for a library page (book shelver), I had to do a alpha / numeric test.

It's where I found both my library jobs. A lot of systems have frozen the hiring for the time being, but hopefully it will change.

Good luck, fellow student.
