“HOW I MADE $18,000
FOR COLLEGE
BY WORKING WEEKENDS?
When my friends and I graduated
from high school, we all took part-time
jobs to pay for college.
They ended up in car washes and
hamburger joints, putting in long hours
for little pay.
Not me. My job takes just one
weekend a month and two weeks a year.
Yet, I’m earning $18,000 for college.
Because I joined my local Army
National Guard.
They’re the people who help our
state during emergencies like hurri­
canes and floods. They’re also an
important part of our country’s military
defense.
So, since I’m helping them do such
an imjjortant job, they’re helping me
make it through school.
As soon as I finished Advanced
Training, the Guard gave me a cash
bonus of $2,000. Then, under the New
GI Bill, I’m getting another $5,000 for
tuition and books.
Not to mention my monthly Army
Guard paychecks. They’ll add up to
more than $11,000 over the six years
I’m in the Guard.
And if I take out a college loan, the
Guard will help me pay it back-up to
$1,500 a year, plus interest.
It all adds up to $18,000—or more
—for college for just a little of my time.
And that’s a heck of a better deal than
any car wash will give you.
THE GUARD CAN HELP PUT
YOU THROUGH COLLEGE, TOO.
