Secrets to Paying for College 2 - Send Your Child to a College That Offers Cooperative Education

About 900 colleges and universities across the country offer programs where students can alternate between full-time study, and a full-time job.
This differs from work/study in that work/study jobs tend to be part-time jobs where students work at for a couple of hours a day until they’ve earned the amount of the award.

On the other hand, cooperative education offers periods of full-time employment in jobs that the student is interested in pursuing after they graduate.
The student usually makes enough money to pay for a good portion of tuition, and they have a much better chance of landing a good job after they graduate.
