<prompt> Human: Im a senior whos just about to get all of his acceptance letters, or rejection letters, and the aspect of finances is becoming a larger and larger part of whether I go to a certain school or not. Personally I do want to go out of state, but the cost of going out of state is about 40k-50k per year as opposed to staying in-state which is about 20-30k per year. Im planning on majoring in aerospace engineering and hoping to minor in computer engineering if I can handle the work load. My family is upper low class or lower middle class and cant help me pay for college. The only real source of money for college will be from financial aid, student loans, and scholarships I really dont have too many of these either.What would be a manageable amount of debt for an aerospace engineer major?  <response>: The only real source of money for college will be from financial aid, student loans, and scholarships I really dont have too many of these either.Not true. Do not forget that you can get a part time job while in school. Anyone who tells you that you cannot work while in school is bullshitting you. In fact, if you work part time while in school, you will likely be more efficient and you will study better.Also, for undergrad I would recommend going to the cheapest school that offers you the most scholarships. Of even do community college for a year or two and then transfer to a 4 year school. Student debt sucks a lot. I wish I told my 18-year-old self this when I was first looking at colleges.
