I'm SO UPSET . . .

Recommended Posts

Not really. I work until 7 on Mon., Weds., Fri. and Sat. and I go to school 8 am to 10 pm on Tuesday-Thursday.

And that's just summer. In the fall, I'll be back to my 8 am to 10 pm 5 days a week schedule (plus regular work on Saturdays). Not much time for a second job.

But at least I'm on salary, so I can take a day off here or there and still get paid for it.

I hate sounding like such a mom, but do you have any time at all to get a second job at night? When I was working a second job at Dillard's for my rig money, there were a lot of women who were going there at night and weekends after their regular jobs.

If you can't do that, look around at what you could sell or at what expenses you can cut back on. I hate to say it too, but when my bank account is getting light, skydiving is the first thing to go. It's a luxury, not a necessity.

Hey J,
Sounds like you need to fire up the disco boogie express, make Jello shots and hang out at the lingerie section at Dillards! :)

I appreciate the idea, but I already have a FT job and am a FT student. All I want is one day a week off. :D Please, can't I have my one day? :(:D



Full time student (full courseload) while working 40+ hours a week? You have my respect for your time management skills. How then are you unable to cover costs at full time hours?

I think that using any type of loan just to go traveling and skydiving is a big mistake. If you really must travel borrow someone's backpacking gear and go backpacking. Good cheap fun.

To afford skydiving during school.. you just need to get good at packing and start packing on your 1 day off per week. If you work hard you can make 300+ dollars in a day! That should be able to pay for some skydives and some leftover to pay off the credit card.

Are you really working 40 hours a week and taking out loans for things like skydiving on top of that?[:/]

I couldn't handle that sort of stress from unnecessary debt.

I suppose . . . but assuming I go to med school, I figured what's $5k on top of $200k (which includes the student loan debt I racked up the first time through college)?



I'm telling you, every little bit adds up.:S I was on the phone with Sallie Mae today doing what I could to lower payments. Look at it as money you'll have to pay back - it's hanging over your head. I got myself into serious trouble 3-5 years ago spending money I didn't have.

You'll do better for not having it in the future.

Yeah, I am. I make considerably less than I did before going back to school. I mean, I don't have any loans right now (b/c of my stupidity), but like I mentioned, my tuition is on a credit card, which I don't like. I'd MUCH rather my tuition be covered by student loans.

And as for using them for skydiving . . . it's better than what I did the first time around - using them for booze. :D

And packing, not so much. I'd have to move to another state to find people who'd let me pack for them. :D

Why won't people let you pack for them?

If you let people know that you're interested in learning about gear and care about doing a good job, then most folks will trust you to pack for them.

Seriously, packing can be great money. If you feel like you need to put skydiving on credit cards.. you really need to find some other way to pay for it.

I don't put it on credit cards. I only put tuition on it.

I pay for my skydives out of pocket right now (and always have), but my pockets aren't very deep. Credit card interest rates are WAY too high and have to be paid immediately. That's why the student loans seemed like a good option. Again, it was only 5k, but that was gonna pay my tuition and buy me more jumps than I've done since I started (per year, I mean).

I KNOW someone on here can back me up. ;)
