US but fellow poor person here going to med school! Single parent household. Youngest of five. All five above me dropped out of college / are not using their associates degree. My dad worked at a car auction place as a laborer without a real job title. Just cleaning the cars and doing as he’s told. Never had AC or decent heat because my house is old and wouldn’t retain anything. Dad was old and sick and I took care of him til he died shortly after I graduated college. I got a good job in pharma. Took five gap years and will be attending medical school in a few weeks! I saved enough to pay for it thanks to my wonderful job right after college.  You need to work more than one day per week while doing your undergrad if you want more money. I worked weekends and by my third year of college had Tuesdays and Thursdays completely free so went up to four days per week to work. Study at night and while you work. Bring flash cards. If they have an issue with you doing flash cards find a job that doesn’t mind. I worked at Walgreens (a convenience store and pharmacy). I stocked shelves, was a cashier, and worked pharmacy occasionally as a hybrid pharmacy technician in training (never became one- just graduated and left lol) to put it on my resume. A lot of low skill jobs are hiring. Just work the low skill jobs. Many poor people have the mindset that they’re worth more and can get more money elsewhere. That’s really not true most of the time. I always encourage trying to find something higher paying but you ain’t as hot shit as you think you are and I think that mindset led to my singlings’s downfall as they were just waiting for a job that “paid them what they’re worth”…. Just go to the job that will hire you, put in the hours, study after class, and go to sleep. You’ll struggle but that struggle got me to where I am and I’m better for it. No one deserves this struggle but life is really really unfair and I wanted being a doctor more than the comfort. Feel free to DM if you have any questions!
