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

Interviews from automated messages?

How legitimate are they? Last chipotle I interviewed for I was given a list of interview times, came in and the manager wasn't even there for the interview.

I have another interview coming up, but this time was a little different since the interview slots were a lot less than before

Last note, how difficult is it to get the job here? I seriously need a job now that the school semester is over. Should I bring a resume?

Thanks

How do I get a job here? Haven't heard back from any Popeyes location in over 3 weeks

Hey, I've applied thru harri website in which I applied to all the Popeyes near my locations

Thinking about walking into a restaurant and talking to a manager and handing in a resume.... would that even make any difference? Are the managers themselves doing the hiring?

I really need a job asap..... I might be overqualified due to my previous jobs but tbh I'll take any job atm and plan to stay there for the medium-ish term

Any advice is appreciated, thank you.

Walking into fast food restaurants after not hearing anything for 3 weeks?

Applied to many fast food places but haven't heard back. Thinking about walking into a restaurant and talking to a manager and handing in a resume... would that even make any difference? Are the managers themselves doing the hiring? Popeyes, Burger King, Wendy's anything tbh
