My plan worked.....go to class 1/2 day and work 1/2 day. Upon graduation, no student loan to repay.
I worked full-time and went to school part-time.My employer reimbursed the cost of the class upon a passing grade of B or better.
Took me 7 years to graduate with a degree in Engineering Physics (BSEE & BS Physics)
There is no need for student loans.
If you’re borrowing the money...you are doing it wrong.
