Poor college student: volunteering vs. paid job?
I’m a full time college student. I have a small amount of money in the bank, and a sizable tax return coming my way soon. But that’s it.
I would love to volunteer at a children’s hospital (I’ve filled out a volunteer application, ready to be sent). However, I feel guilty volunteering because my parents (both in mid-fifties) are on the brink of foreclosure, signed me up for student loans without telling me, and are basically penniless. No retirement, nada (it was spent on college tuition for me and my sister without us knowing, and also their house mortgage. Absolutely foolish). I pay for everything I own, basically — not that they wouldn’t like to help me, it’s just that they’d rather buy me winter boots than pay for the internet bill. For reasons that are extremely complicated, my parents are not good with their money.
So again, I feel guilty volunteering when I feel like I should have a job. Outside opinions are all I’m looking for! To volunteer or get a job?
I think it would be best for you to get a paying job. I think you have a responsibility to be as little a burden to your parents as possible. Your education benefits you much more than them. There will be plenty of time for volunteer work after you graduate.
