Tuition isn't cheap for students at Michigan State University. Students have to find work in the summer and throughout the school year, often working a minimum wage job just to help make ends meet.
Luke Williams, current MSU student, works at local golf course in his hometown for a salary slightly above minimum wage.
Williams said he likes his job a lot but he often gets frustrated at how hard it is to afford college with such low income.
Similarly, Nate Varilone, a current MSU student in the packaging college, finds work in the summer with a landscape crew.
Varilone said that he currently makes well above minimum and that college isn't that hard to afford if you work hard in the summer and save your money.
Both Williams and Varilone expand on their position in regards to the current minimum wage salary.
