Everyone knows the college clichs. You are almost expected to gain weight when you first start and to be living off of ramen noodles because you are so poor from paying your way through school. However, it does not have to be this way. They may be clichs, but there are "smart poor college students" that know the tricks of the trade and how to avoid eating the same noodles for every meal.

These individuals are finding that they can achieve their career goals with an associate's degree and, obviously, that they can complete their schooling faster and with less costs if they will reenter the workforce upon completion of their associate's degree.

The professor offered only one question: "Why are you here?" Everyone would get full participation points, and the student with the cleverest answer would get five extra points. The winning answer? Here it is:

But more and more mature adults who have returned to school are finding that their achievement of an associate's degree is the only boos they need in order to achieve their career and life goals.

If you have included your bills in your budget you will have scheduled when exactly you have to pay them. Make sure that you never miss a deadline and always pay on time. This way you can avoid having to pay any unnecessary late fees or charges. If you pay your bills online and have a tendency to forget, leave yourself notes around your house and reminders on your phone. You can set them so that an alarm goes off to remind you at the same time and day every month or week.

Use regular sized paper. Often professors tend to jump from idea to idea or circle back to add something pertinent to a point already passed. You may need side margins or extra space to draw in arrows or asterisks. Also, visually speaking, ideas will be clumped together, explained fully on one page. This should help you understand concepts as a whole, rather than flipping back and forth between multiple pages to learn one idea.

Another rising field with plenty of potential in the near future is that of information technology. An associate's degree in information technology or a similar degree will allow an individual to apply for IT positions in nearly every industry imaginable, from business to healthcare, all industries are using technology to drive their organization and those with the education and the skills to keep that technology running will almost always have a positional available to them.

Find your system. With the amounts of information you will have to keep track of, making a system of abbreviations, colors or symbols to help you keep track of information can be very helpful. Don't waste time writing down long scientific words when you can abbreviate. However! Make sure that you write down some sort of key to refer to. You may think that you will understand what you wrote later on, but chances are you won't. Make sure that three weeks down the road you still understand your notes.

Selling things online can be dangerous as well. If someone offers to pay you upon delivery or through a check, do not fall for it. These are common scams that usually end up with the check bouncing leaving you with nothing else to do. Use safer systems such as PayPal to ensure a transfer of funds that both you and your customer can both trust to go through.

If you want to be considered a smart college student while pursuing your graphic arts degree or web design and development degree follow these steps. You will not only be able to save money but you will be able to apply valuable budgeting skills that will allow you to use your money more wisely in the future as well.
