Money will be an issue for me that is why I'm trying to gauge my options from what schools are offering me, what scholarships I am able to receive and how much I am able to get through FAFSA, which I won't even get to do until at least February. So where do I start with all of this? I'm trying...

How do I work while in college?

Should I plan a college schedule and course list with the thought of a job in mind, or should I just create my schedule based on class availability and find a job that fits that realm after?

How do you start paying for college?

I'm about to start college in the fall, and I'm applying for scholarships and saving up from working part-time. I understand how to earn money from college, I just don't know how payment works. Will I have to pay for classes before school starts, will it all hit me after I receive my degree?...

What is it like to work as a fashion magazine editor or journalist?

I am considering pursuing fashion journalism, but I don't know what the lifestyle of a journalist is. Is it mostly a desk job or would there be more walking around?

If I chose finance as my major, how difficult would it be if I decided to later pursue medical or law school?

I have many interests, and I am still somewhat undecided. I want to keep my options open, but I don't know if I would be able to pursue more than one interest in college.
Thank you.

How important is having a College Degree in the real world, or is work experience more important?

I plan on attending college, however I don’t want to deal with having college debt. Would going to a trade school or getting into the workforce early be better instead of attending a 4 year University? #college-bound #tradeschool #college-advice #college #debt

How important are job co-op opportunities to employment after graduation?

I am interested in civil engineering. Some of the colleges I have looked at require a co-op, and others do not. It seems like a co-op would be a good idea. Is there any hard data on co-op opportunities and whether they led to employment quicker? #engineering #career #services
