I still work my full-time job at a industrial facility, due to the fact that my bosses apparently think enough of me to have adjusted my schedule to fit around my classes. The only problem with this is that it leaves absolutely no time for myself, but I figure that it'll all be worth it when I finally finish school and start working. BTW, my DW the RRT has been more that a little helpful with helping me get through all this. Don't think I could do it without her help!

I'm really hoping I can work into some sort of agreement like this. I've got a great job but business hours require me to be here somewhere from 7-10am to 4-7pm. The job can be done remotely and by cutting out the 2 hours of commute I have, I could likely fit in both school and keep the job since it's fairly relaxed.

But selling that would be tough. Til then it's checking out alternative schedules (part-time, hybrid, etc)..

My wife is a Pharmacist and she's paying the bills. I worked while she went to school and it's payback time.

I am on the verge of being homeless. I have enough money to pay rent for 2 more months. After that I don't know what I will do. Anyone know where I can get a loan? I need at least $7 grand a year for the next 2 years. Please someone give me some info.

I work as a hairstylist. I have been one for the last 20 years. I only work three and 1/2 days a week. However, I'm currently trying to get a job at a large area hospital. They offer 100% full tution reinbersment! That way, I can pay rent with student loans and survive! I just have to work there for at least two years after which will be no problem since they pay their nurses very well.

Yikes, sorry to hear that. Are you getting federal loans? Like Federal Stafford? Don't forget you have to pay these back!! That's the bad part.... If your credit is decent, you can find unsecured student loans through banks, etc. Mine is through AES (American Education Services)

If you qualify, federal Perkins loans are forgiven after graduation if you work in fields such as healthcare, education, etc....

Loans, loans, and more loans. I don't work, which helps given the intensity of my program.

Stafford Loans (subsidized and unsubsidized) to cover tuition, graduate PLUS loans to cover living expenses (though that's only available to those in graduate programs). A very expensive way to go, but I don't have to work while in school and don't have a mortgage or family to worry about.

If anyone needs private loans, I've heard that Sallie Mae and Wells Fargo provide good services for students. I may need those too, we'll see.
