As an early high school graduate, how can I pay for my agriculture degree without going into debt ?
I will graduate right after turning 17, but I am worried that graduating at a young age, I will not have enough money to fund my degree. I have held a steady ranch hand job for 3 years, however, only make minimum wage. I plan to go to community college to finish my associate degree and perhaps eventually transfer to a larger school for my bachelors. Even with this plan I may not be able to afford it.

Are scholarships worth it?
I applied to numerous amount of scholarships when I was in undergraduate school and I received one that was through one of my professor's friend. However, the ones I applied online from all of the scholarship search engines came up blank. I am now applying to graduate school and I am wondering if there is anybody out there that have actually won one of these scholarships? Are they worth the time I am spending applying or would I be better off just picking up another shift at work? #college #scholarships #graduateschool #payingforcollege

Is it smarter to get scholarships for instate or out of state colleges?
I have offers for scholarships out of state, and even though out of state tuition costs more. Is it better to use the money and get my schooling done there instead of paying for instate. #payingforcollege #needmoney #instate #outofstate

When do you start paying for college?
Can you pay while your learning or are all the fees due before the semester? Do you pay for college once you know you've been accepted? #college #payingforcollege

Is college really worth it?
I understand the need for a further education in order to preform skills at higher paying jobs, but is having the debt of college loans and spending all that time really worth it in the long run? Neither of my parents finished college and they seem to be doing more than fine, but they also don’t posses the skills to go any further in life. It’s scary to think that if college doesn’t work out for you, it could completely sabotage your future, but most people make it seem necessary in order to ever become successful. So is college really worth the money, time, effort, and stress or is there another way to become successful-other than winning the lottery of course. #payingforcollege #isitworththerisk #success
ChandlerIs the college I go really so important?
I know that some colleges are better than others but at the end of the day is it just about the degree? Lots of people tell me it doesn’t matter where you go as long as you get the information. But there’s a reason some schools costs so much more- is the quality of education worth it? I don’t want 4 years to cripple me financially, especially if I’m not sure what it’s worth. #payingforcollege #college #financial-planning #college-tuition
