<p>so i currently have a summer job and i was wondering how much having a job would affect my financial aid for next year. i was also considering taking up a second job. would that lower my financial aid by a significant amount?</p>
<p>Depends on your situation. Are you going to be considered an independent? If you’re a dependent, a summer job (~$5000) is not going to greatly affect your financial aid (probably about a $1000, though you could get better estimates with online calculator).</p>
