Hi Annie,

I’d say don’t give up on your plan on wanting to raise your GPA but be 100% sure that this is the route you want to take on obtaining a Ph.d in Psychology. If it is, then awesome go for it! 🙂 Apply and see what happens, then take it from there on what you want to do next. Try to not stress too much on your student loans, pay what you are able to pay towards your loans.

As far as jobs. The best paying jobs are the service industry ones. Fine dining restaurants or Hillstone Group http://www.hillstone.com – You will make really excellent money and only have to work 5-6 hours a day or night. They offer great benefits too. Plus flexibility with your schedule. Hourly jobs just don’t cut it these days, only jobs like these do.

I used to work at the one in California and in Arizona during the summers, years ago… I made awesome money and a lot of people I worked with back then, still work their because the money is so good.

Does this help?
