    Honestly, part - time probably not. Even full - time depending on the wage, a lot of people would have difficulties graduating debt free. I would spend more time on making your studies your full time job, graduating and paying it off.

    That depends on how much money you make in your job and how much tuition and living costs are.

    I suggest that you explore why you are determined to graduate debt-free. A good education will pay off for the rest of your life in ways that cannot be measured (deeper understanding) and ways that can be measured (higher salaries).

    Focus on getting a good education, and you can pay the debt after you graduate, when you'll be making a higher salary. You'll do better in your studies than if you try to work and study at the same time.

    My son-in-law solved that problem by spending 6 years in the Navy after high School. There are several college that will accept Vets benefits as full-tuition. He also gets $1700 a month to live on and an allowance for text books. As a part-time job he has stayed in the Navel Reserve. The military is not for every one, but for someone who wants to go to college without debt, it is worth considering.

    PS. He saved his money while in the Navy.
