The past 2 summers I spent my time taking 2 classes to get ahead on credit hours. This past summer i needed to take out a subsidized loan. I wasn't as concerned about the loan because it is subsidized, but once i graduate it will accumulate interest. With this in mind, I worked 40 hours a week all summer and opened up a savings account just in case i need it to pay off that loan upon graduation. After only 4 months i have a quarter of the funds to pay off the loan and still over a year and a half left in college.
I have 2 older siblings who have entered the job field and made mistakes that I am aware of now. My older sister wasted money and loans by living in the city and going to a private college. My older brother took way too long to take his CPA and ended up just getting a job in sales. After seeing their experiences, I decided to try to go into finance and save as much money as I can starting now.
I was surprised that you didn't discuss you plans or goals for this coming summer. Are you looking for an internship in finance? Or are you planning to work more at a job that won't be your future career but might be better for paying of the loans you talked about. I also wonder how you can work a full time job in the summer and take 2 courses on top of that and do well in those courses. Isn't it too much?

This post is rather meager and it is late. So it looks like you dashed it off in short order.
This summer i am looking for an internship in financial planning, investment banking, or any other finance opportunities. The classes that i took this past summer were both online 8 week classes, but were both core classes for earning my business minor. I would work from 8am-6pm and then get an hour or two of homework done after. This summer I hope to be able to complete an accelerated 3 week public speaking class before starting an internship that I have applied for.
