I do not want to work during college, instead planning to maximize both subsidized and unsubsidized loans to focus on college/internships 100% as I believe it's a better ROI than working ontop of a heavy courseload
Planning to save/invest $20,000 - $30,000 ish by the end of this year, and not work for the next 4-5 years (majoring in EE)
for the fall I don't have to attend any in person classes, so I'm living at home atm and looking for a job right now to aggressively save over these next 7 months.
by the spring I will be moving and living on my own. and I plan to take out the maximium sub and unsub loans for every year. first 2 years will be in community college in HCOL. COA calculation is pretty high for my community college even so I believe I would qualify for the maximum amounts on top of $7400 for Pell grants yearly
I don't want to work at all and put all my efforts into college only, with the exception of internships and workstudy ofc.
Thoughts?
edited to add: I have zero financial backing from anyone, but I also don't want to drop out because of work (which apparently a good portion of students do)
Living expenses are around $1750 a month in a medium to high col area
