Do you think working while in a slp masters program will b difficult?

I was wondering how everyone Is planning on being financially stable while in grad school. Can you put off camps hosing through loans?

You can use federal loan money to cover the cost of living expenses and books whether or not you live on campus. I'm in SLP, not audiology, but I definitely think it's possible to hold a part-time job while going to school, as long as you accept that you might not be able to go out on weekends or have much of a social life. I've been tutoring on the side while in grad school, and I find it works well because I can charge a lot per hour, and not have to work as many hours to reach my target income in a month. Many of my classmates babysit, which can be a great way to make money especially at night since you can get homework done while the kids are sleeping - when I was doing my post-bacc, I was able to earn all my living expenses and savings by babysitting. If you are a decent writer, another potential source of income can be applying to writing jobs since you can do the work on your own time as long as you make deadlines.

Like Gandalf, I also tutor on the side but it really does cut into a lot of precious time. It's a very tight juggling act - but it's possible (and absolutely necessary for me). A full-time job is a definite no-no.
