OK, here’s my dilemna: I want to be a filmmaker/screenwriter, and I got accepted to two film schools but am unable to attend either one because of financial roadblocks. First, I live alone w/my mom who has jacked-up credit and is unable to get loans approved, therefore she can’t co-sign on any loans for me. Secondly, I don’t have any kind of credit whatsoever (I’m 18) and, I’ve been informed, no bank would ever trust someone under the age of 24 w/a $20,000+ loan. I’ve tried scholarships, and I got a few minor ones ($500-$4,000) but they don’t even begin to cover the cost. Does anyone know any way else I can finance my education? This is my lifelong dream on the line here…
I’ve been undecided as a current college freshman pursuing a bachelors degree but have narrowed my choices of majors to:
-Biology
-Engineering (Civil or Mechanical)
-Business Admin. (Concentration: Finance or Accounting)
My questions -
1) What does each Major offer me in terms of opportunities?
2) Which of the three would be the most versatile to have when applying for a career?
3) Which is best to have to go to any type of Graduate School?
4) What is the most useful combination of major/minor of these to have in a Bachelors Degree?
(i.e. Biology w/ minor in Business)
Best Answer will receive 10 Pts. and my gratitude
Thank you in advance for all your inputs
Hi guys, I’m a full time second-year college student with a part time paid internship on the side in which I get paid slightly under 500 dollars a month. I have about 2000 saved up in the bank and was looking at a new car that runs about 15-16k. I know nothing about how financing a car works other than the simple down payment + monthly payments (with interest). I’m wondering if it’s possible for me at all to finance a car like this and what the application process is. Thanks a lot!!
I’m also not sure what my credit is at all, other than I always pay all 3 of my credit cards on time.
I also have zero expenses as I commute to my university. Does this change anything?
