[quote=spdrun]Rutgers has a 4-year undergrad graduation rate of about 50%. A lot of students do live at home and commute, then have summer and part-time jobs — it’s not hard to pull down $3000 over half the summer and another $4-5000 over the rest of the year with a part-time job or internship. 10 hr/wk, nothing huge.[/quote]
$5000 / (36 weeks * 10 hours per week) = $13.89/hr. If you can find that job at 18-19 might be better to just stick with the job and not go to school. Especially if you’re not doing the STEM thing.
