Working through college is like pulling your own teeth, but without Novocaine, and you still have to pay for it. Many students have to pay their way through college, as well as deal with other bills. Phone, gas, insurance and car payments add up quickly. Students use a variety of ways to pay their college bills such as financial aid, scholarships, work studies, or just working a job or two.
