You're right...

Usually, they hire 2nd year students as RAs.

On rare situations, they may hire 1st year students in the middle of their 1st year in school.

During my first year as RA, my co-RA was a 2nd-year student. She applied during Winter Quarter during her 1st year and was hired as a RA for Spring Quarter. (Another RA quit or was fired, then they felt she was qualified to take over for just one quarter.) She still had to go through training for this year was her formal first year as RA.

Yeah, in a pinch they will use someone without the prereq"s. We try to use jr. and sr. status students, but will use sophomores in a pinch.
 
Your subject needs to change a better one instead of this "I'm in not fuckin' mood for this shit!" I don't like it all because of too immature.

I STRONGLY recommend having a meeting w/ your financial advisor. There are grants out there. AS LONG as your parent's are not claiming you on their taxes, no one has the right to look at their income. If you claim yourself on your taxes, only your income is looked at. This is what you need verified by your financial advisor.

In my opinion, a college degree is highly over-rated, most people rarely go into the field they studied to get their degree unless they are specialized. You really should change your major that is related to the one you mentioned above. An undergraduate degree is necessary to get the job but does not guarantee your income. It helps you get the foot in the door and then after you gain experience and prove yourself, you will get raises. Once you find a company, see if they will pay for your master's. That is what I did.

Honestly, please look into that parent income thing. I know for a fact that FEDERAL loans DO NOT look at your parent's income if your parent's are not claiming you on their taxes I got in a big fight about this with my dad when I was going to college. I told him that if he doesn't help me pay for school, then he can not claim me anymore because I needed a student loan. Don't worry right now about paying it back, you get like 4 years after you graduate to start paying on it. And the interest rate you get on a gov't loan is always going to be lower than any other bank. HTH

Great advice! I gotta agree with this one and what Jillo and Alley said earlier. :)

I am sorry to hear that you are struggling to get more money for your college! I am little confused! Have you try student loans?? I know its not fair but its worth of trying that.

I got student loan which I don't have to pay the loan while I was in college. I started to pay the loan when I graduated from college. Loan is fixed meaning interest won't go higher. I only pay $200 monthly till I paid it off.

Hope that helps!

No matter what kind of loans, I dont want to get loans..

Yeah, I know. Well, I don't care what they got free school. I just have to be myself what I needed to do when I was in college. I paid in half and a VR paid half. I didn't have a lot of fun when I was in college. Money comes first to pay all the bills.

Ask your VR to see if the VR is willing to pay the half. It's up to you. You have to convince the VR for a really good reason. For stake, you are 20 years old with no credit card and no mortgage. Come on. You have to live with it. For stake, 20 years old. You will be fine for sure.

Yea, I dont care if they have free school, too. Yes, I agree that money come first to pay off the bills.

I have to wait for my VR to inform me how much he will willing to pay me this year.

Ummm, yea I'm 20 years old but I dont need to live with it (credit card and mortgage).

Very, very few people get through college without taking out a loan or two, or their parents taking out a loan or two. Consider it an investment in your future.

Everyone has struggled paying for college. You're not alone. It builds character and helps you determined what is necessary and what isn't.

Take a look at your weekly/monthly budget. Do you need to have that lipstick? Do you need to have that $ 50.00 pair of jeans when a $ 19.99 pair of jeans is sufficient? Do you need to have name brand product when a knock-off brand is good enough?

Amazingly, when I was in college, it was interesting to see people struggle from mid-month to the end of the month because they had to have name brand things when I ran around with hand-me-downs from the thrift store.

And I still had money at the end of the month! :lol:

haha, I dont buy clothes, I have enough old clothes to wear (from my middle school to high school clothes) Yes, I'm still wearing old shoes that I have from 7th grade.. I dont care about new brand. I try to find cheap clothes as possible as I can. I just remember that last year when I was freshman year. I bought 15 dollars for a pair of jean and borrow my friend to get bleach (sp?) for my jean. I made some spots and spill bleach liquid on my jean. Then I took it to laundry room to wash it. Now, I'm loving this new style of clothes (and ofc cheap too!)

But remember this: You will be more successful in the real world than they are because they are overly-dependent on others whereas you are learning to be self sufficient and being self-advocating. :)

Hey Taurus! Maybe you can charge a customized screen saver for customer who want to have screen saver on their window XP and Vista. That way you can make money and pay off for your college unless you charge reasonable price.

I'm nature freak lol

Why not become a resident advisor?

They will cover your room and board. (First year RAs are covered 80%. Second year RAs and beyond are covered 100%.) The only thing RAs have to do is pay for tuition and other fees plus be a full-time student (12 credits or more). Along with that, you can apply for Pell Grant and other scholarships. That will definitely save you a lot of money.

Board is not 100% debit. It's actually 80% debit and 20% flex (aka Tiger Bucks). Flex can be used anywhere on campus, including the bookstore... perfect for your books every quarter. Right now, I think the total is $1,300. 20% of that is $260. That should be enough for your books each quarter. :)

Oh, I didnt know that become RA can pay off my room and board.. Interesting..

What else they can cover for me if I become RA?

Is that easy to become RA?

Any information about RA let me know, thanks!
