Secured credit cards, what they say
What about student credit cards is specially tailored to your needs? The primary difference is that student credit cards are much more likely to approve you. Regular credit cards want assurance that you are a good credit risk: a long credit history, a certain level of income. When you have never had a credit card and you have a low paying college job, meeting the requirements of a regular credit card can be tough. However, student credit cards are designed to take this difficulty into account. Some issuers ask you to find a cosigner, such as a parent, who can afford to take responsibility for your debt if you default.
