Most students have to operate on a tight budget. Whether you are learning on a grant or you are being g sponsored by your parents, it is common for students to lack money. I remember my student days, where we were on a tight budget almost the whole of student life. We used to live out of noodles on days when the dorm kitchen was closed for some reason. We used to pool money for buying books and supplies.
I studied in India we had subsidized education there. I didn’t have to take a loan to study tuition was negligible, all we had to pay for was the living expenses.

Either way, you will inevitably end up with some kind of debt.

Knowing the costs involved, benefits and challenges of each option will put you in a better financial position.

Education is costly, it’s becoming costlier with every passing day! While the curriculum is getting tougher. The courses are more demanding than ever, with larger workloads and higher grade boundaries and greater competition from within the country and abroad. At the same time, the cost of studying increased tremendously over the last 10 years. In 2005 average student loan debt per student was $10,000, now in 2015, the figure is a whopping $25,000. While, over the same 10 years, the minimum wage has remained the same, almost.
So, students, these days need to find work to support their cost of education. The place we live in has about 8 universities nearby. Most of the area’s restaurants are staffed with a local student, for waiting for jobs. I wonder if and how much time they get for studies. I think if students can work at online jobs, they may get more time for studies, compared to the physical jobs I see them doing.
