How one man went from a 0.9 GPA in high school to Harvard. investinyou (in partnership with acorns)
When Todd Rose was young, he struggled with academics. His senior year in high school, he had a 0.9 grade point average and was kicked out before graduating.
By the time Rose was 21, he had two kids, was working minimum-wage jobs and relied on welfare to get by. He said he held close to a dozen jobs after dropping out of high school. To cover the difference, Rose took out government loans, and he had a job selling chain-link fences during the day, while attending classes at night.Rose graduated from Weber State at the top of his class and with $40,000 in student loans. He went on to Harvard for his doctorate in human development with a partial scholarship that helped cover some of the tuition.
Right now, Rose's student debt has grown to about $180,000, but he says he has worked out smart spending and saving strategies to pay it off, including consolidating his loans at an interest rate that's below inflation.
