<prompt> Human: Title pretty much says it all. Im the first one in my family pursuing a degree. I just got accepted to transfer to a four year school after getting my Associates at a community college. The major Im going into requires a lot time spent out of class, so I dont know if I can hold down a job at the same time I dont know how student teaching works. Both my parents are clueless when it comes to finance and I want to break the cycle. If it helps the cost of attendance is around 50k for the two years. Any help would be appreciated  <response>: Once you commit to the loans DO NOT DROP OUT. Youll be fine as long as you graduate on time. Remember to take out money in loans to pay for necessary expenses over the year and if you dont work a limited fun money account. Have the mindset that you are spending money that future-you has earned, and in return you are giving future-you a degree and a job.
