paying for school questions

I work 2 jobs. Consultant at my campus IT center.

And at nights ant weekend - I haul trash, scrub toilets, wash dishes...

I live in a hole in the ground with three other kids. My princely possessions include a computer and a 10 year old car I need for making clinicals. I haven't changed my wardrobe in 4 years.

Hey, anything to make the grade man


I dream about the clothes and shoes and whatnot I will buy once I become an RN

I work at two bars, home healthcare and work study, I have no life what so ever but I am PASSING and in my final year. (YES !!!) See if you can get a job with work study at the school you go to. Apply in the computer dept. (thats where I am) It usually doesnt take alot of education or know how to get one. Mainly I help students with the computers and study. I get paid to study. I do most of my work here at school or when I was in 100 I would take my medical definitions to one of the bars with me and pass out the note cards and have to tell the person what the answer was. (the bars are a VFW (ex military myself but they do hire out) and an Eagles club) It helped me to pass and people learned somethings out of it. They actually were upset when I stopped doing it. ha ha

I am 40 and thinking of going back into the service myself. I found out that the cut off age for the national guard was 36 but they count my time in already so I might be able to get in (had a little problem when I was younger ) I think it would be awesome to go back in as a nurse and an officer.

I guess I started my planning early. I changed careers about 5 yrs ago, left the corperate crud, and went to massage school. Now I work about 10-15 hours a week and make enought to pay the bills, and I still have time for college. Glad I did that.

I am glad for you too.

Corporate is no way to live.

Glad things are much improved on your end.

Best wishes, pal.
