Question: Starting school and need help with student loans?

Hello, I am starting school at AAI (Arizona Automotive Institute) and I was wondering how I can get a student loan to give me money to pay my phone bill while I am attending school. Is this possible? Does anyone know of any student loans I can look into? I heard that you can get student loans for personal expenses, can anyone please help me out?

Subsidized Stafford student loan: one of the most common loans taken out by students in order to cover education expenses. Unsubsidized Stafford student loan: Non-need based...the borrower of the loan is responsible for all interest as soon as the loan is taken out; including throughout school. No credit check is required. http://loan-house.we.bs/studentloan.html PLUS Loan (Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students) "as to parents" such as the William d ford student loan: program gives parents of students the option to borrow up to 100% of their child’s cost of education. The Perkins student loan is a type of student loan that is available to both graduate and undergraduate students. Applicants must demonstrate financial need in order to qualify for this loan. Funds are disbursed by the school and must be repaid to the school. http://loan--house.blogspot.com/2008/03/private-student-loans.html

Question: How much should I be getting paid?

I just graduated from Arizona Automotive Institute with an associates degree in Automotive Autotronics, but have pretty much a lifetime experience with autos, as my father's a certified master mechanic. I've gotten approved for a job with a Dodge dealership here in Albuquerque, New Mexico working on their heavy line, more specifically transmissions, and tomorrow I go to discuss my employment with them and negotiate wages. I've opted to start out hourly until I get the hang of things, at which time I'll switch to flat-rate, but I'm not familiar with the pay rate in the industry and haven't found much online info about it. Is anybody familiar with the work and pay? What should I be aiming for when I go in tomorrow?

It does'nt matter what your education is, it's how well you perform.If you can "cut it" you are probably worth about ten bucks an hour. After you switch to flat rate, you will move to around the 8-12 per flat rate hour. Then it depends on your skill and speed. If you are really good you will be able to demand upwards of 20 bucks per flat rate hour. With your background I would expect you to make close to 100k within 5 years. Good luck.
