LAFAYETTE, La. JaCaleb Smith worked at a trampoline park during his first semester studying chemical engineering at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Along with his summer job at Home Depot, his earnings went to pay for college, but he still wondered if he should or could stay in school. I was paying out of pocket, the 19-year-old said.

LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) JaCaleb Smith worked at a trampoline park during his first semester studying chemical engineering at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Along with his summer job at Home Depot, his earnings went to pay for college, but he still wondered if he should or could stay in school.
“I was paying out of pocket,” the 19-year-old said. “It makes people want to stop. Honestly, I did. I had to figure out where the money would come from.”
Carl Whitlock, a sophomore at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, understands this feeling. As a freshman, he worked part-time at his church as well as two nonprofits, Broaden Horizons and Teach One to Lead One.
