<p>2500 from savings and the summer plus a 3000 WS. parental efc is 6.5K. im gonna need 3jobs this summer too but i will NOT get a loan [eek i h8 that word]</p>
<p>i noticed one person said min wage is going up, well, that’s due to inflation, people that aren’t asking for raises are losing money</p>
<p>I’m in MD. It’s been $6.55 for less than a year; previously it had held steady at $6.15 for awhile.</p>
<p>a merit award wiped out my work-study, and the school im considering doesnt have a summer earning requirement.</p>
<p>probably gonna tutor abroad (yes, those asian parents are LOADED!) so that i can knock out some of my unsubsidized loan amount :)</p>
<p>I have to earn . . . as much as possible. 
</p>
<p>I was extremely lucky to line up a summer job that pays about $14 an hour.</p>
<p>It’s $7.25 here in NJ!</p>
<p>Min. Wage (ME) 7.25, though in NH it’s 6 something. (Right across the border where I live)</p>
<p>College: Nothing until four years from now. Thank you scholarships and loans. Still have to pay for books though, but not a big deal. (and yes I’m still working all summer long…four years will be up in no time)</p>
