In some ways I was "lucky" because I pledged when I was a junior and my fees paid for my senior year. But some of my sans that pledged during their sophomore year worked during the summer and saved their money. Many of the kids that I went to school with worked. I know that during my freshman summer I worked at a camp in
B'ham and had to save what money I could in order to just get back to school and to send back home to TX to help with the family finances (my Mom at that time had just become unemployed with 2 kids in college). Then in my sophomore year, I worked on the family farm and my Grandfather helped me out at the end of the summer and my junior summer I worked at a HHA and saved my money.
It's really not that unusual to have to work and pay for school or tuition or books or rent. Sometimes sacrifices just have to be made.
