Students don't earn much... if at all. And going on a vacation to your dream destination may just have to wait until you graduate and earn more.

It doesn't have to be like that. Just like discounts for senior citizens, there are also tons of discounts available for students or the youth.

One of the best way to automatically get discounts is when you have a student card, particularly an International Student Identity Card. It boasts of 32,000 discounts from all over the world for flights, public transport, museums, hostels and restaurants.

For more information, head over to Frommers and let Charis tell you how you can milk your student status to the max.

"I'm not completely convinced that websites purporting to sell discounted student fares are actually cheaper than doing your research and purchasing regular discounted fares online or by phone through consolidators or destination specialists. There are certain airfares that seem to be for student fulfillment only, but I would still recommend browsing a bit and shopping around before purchasing."

Travelosophy, Student Universe and Student Travel have wide selections of discounts which you can avail of.

Make sure you pass all your exams, though, before you start making your travel plans.
