Paying off College

[dezinerite]

What did YOU do to pay off college and how long did it take YOU? Thanks!

EDIT:
I'm going to have to add that the question IS NOT:
"what can I do to pay off college?" :P

Good question. Because I am in the midst of my college education. And I have a lot of people telling me to get as many as scholarships I can for undergraduate school and save the loan part for graduate school so that I would have to pay less afterwords.

IF you want to pay off the college loan quick as possible. Than pay more than the alloted amount each month or dont get them at all. Find as many as scholarships you possible can and try not to depend to much on getting loans if this is such a big worry.

Join the military. They will pay off only 10,000$ of your student loans but its better than nothing. Also, if you have your degree most likely you will be an officer and make alot of money and have no expenses. This is assuming you are in the US though.

I'm already on scholarship, but I'd like to self-finance graduate school education (immediately after the undergraduate course). I don't want to rely on anyone like my parents or aunts for that...

Take whatever income you can spare, and start paying off the loans early. I know they are not due until after you graduate, but that will lessen the burden, and any interest.

That's all great, assuming you aren't killed in the line of duty.

People keep replying without even considering this:

What country do you live in?
What college are you going to?
Do you have a scholarship?

It really differentiates from school to school, person to person.

True! And the question is:
"how did YOU pay off college and how long did it take YOU?"
The question IS NOT:
"what can I do to pay off college?" :hehe:

If it was an exam question, how many people actually went off context? Hahah...!
