How To Be A Smart "poor College Student"

By Hedrick Lepsch


Everyone knows the college clichs. You are almost expected to gain weight when you first start and to be living off of ramen noodles because you are so poor from paying your way through school. However, it does not have to be this way. They may be clichs, but there are "smart poor college students" that know the tricks of the trade and how to avoid eating the same noodles for every meal.

Make a Budget

Receiving an associate's degree is often seen as the first step getting accredited certification as being college educated, and it is certainly a great foundation for those who are looking to go on to other advanced degrees.

"If I didn't come to class this morning, I would probably have missed some vital information for the text coming up, failed the test, failed the course, lost my scholarship, dropped out of school, ended up on the streets, and died a bitter death on an even colder, earlier winter morning."

If you have included your bills in your budget you will have scheduled when exactly you have to pay them. Make sure that you never miss a deadline and always pay on time. This way you can avoid having to pay any unnecessary late fees or charges. If you pay your bills online and have a tendency to forget, leave yourself notes around your house and reminders on your phone. You can set them so that an alarm goes off to remind you at the same time and day every month or week.

One of the first fields that individuals can find good success in with an associate's degree is the field of nursing and other medical specialties. The two year associates degree in nursing or in another medical specialty can instantly open doors for careers in hospitals, care facilities, and medical labs for those who would be interested in that career path.

Unnecessary amounts of money are lost or spent when people are careless with their belongings. A lot of damage can be done with a credit card, identification card, or social security card in not a lot of time when it's stolen. Sometimes even if you are careful about your belongings you can fall victim to credit card scams. Do not purchase anything online that does not look credible. Search the name of the website you are planning to purchase from through a search engine to see if it has a lot of online traffic. If it doesn't, chances are it's a credit card scam.

Don't Fall for Scams

Electrical engineering is another versatile associate's degree that can open many doors for graduates. With a degree in electrical engineering, a person can gain entry into the field of communications, public works, and other rewarding fields.

So follow these guidelines, take good notes, and dominate your Web Design and Development Degree!
