conversation: User (bangbangthreehunna): "I'm in my last 8 weeks of college and I am struggling balancing my money. I had to spend around $500 on certifications for physical therapy school admissions. My minimum wage on-campus job got a new director and she cut my hours down from 10/week to 2.5/week because of scheduling, despite having the highest seniority. I used to make $160 biweekly, now I'm making around $40, not enough to pay for gas, food, and expenses. Currently my 2 bank accounts have less than $100 combined in them. \n\nI was wondering if taking out a loan around $1000 would be beneficial or not? I'm in my last few weeks of college and want to life comfortably. I prefer not to take money from my mother and I do not want to inform her that I might be taking out a personal loan. She would likely find out because she monitors both my college checking accounts. \n\nFor post graduation, I do not have a full-time job lined up within my field, but of my old summer job has offered me a $15/hr position. I would not enjoy having a pre-PT degree and working at a day camp, but money is money. "
