Critical Thinking
Problem and Situation Assignment
College can be hard, and it becomes even harder when you have very little to no money to help pay for the experience. This became my problem this year. Money is tight and good paying jobs are hard to find. Even financial assistance is getting hard to come by. My purpose in this situation to find a way to be able to pay for college while staying out of debt and continuing to stay focused on my school work. In other words, I am trying to find a way to stay in college, keep working, and maintain good credit all while continuing to pay my bills. My purpose is justifiable and a fair way of thinking. I know that it is my responsibility and I don’t blame anyone else for me not having money. I know that I can take care of the things I need to once a solution to my money issue is found. The key question I have to ask myself when I think about this issue is simple: How can I pay for college? In other words, how do I get the money I need to stay in college without falling into debt, but continuing to work? There are several questions that arise when thinking about this topic:
1. How can I pay for college?
2. Who can help me pay for college?
3. How do I get off financial aid probation?
4. Can I get the V.A. benefits back?
5. Will a credit card help?
6. Can I work more hours?
7. Is it possible to make enough money as a bum to pay for college?
8. Is stealing a good choice?
9. Can I get a scholarship?
10. Are there any scholarships specifically for teachers?
11. Can I find any scholarships that are specific to me as an individual?
12. Are student loans a good choice?
13. Are there any reliable grants as an option?
14. Should I take even more time off college?
15. Can I sell anything worth money?
16. Could I start selling my custom-made jewelry on Esty?
17. Who can I go to, to answer my questions?
18. Will a loan put me into debt?
19. Will my boyfriend, Xavier, help me?
