big decision

Here is my situation. I live in Massachusetts now. I have wanted to move to Colorado for a long time. I have a CNA certificate. Also, I may be getting into a LPN program in Massachusetts for the fall. The problem is that the program is $12,000. I already have $13,000 in credit card debt too. So, I would be in $25,000 debt by next year when I finish the LPN program. Then, I am going to look for jobs in Colorado.

Do you all think this will be a mistake? Should I just move to Colorado now, and be a CNA for a while? Also, it is scary for me to do this move all on my own. But, I have always wanted to live here. I don't know what to do.

Oh yeah, I already have a bachelor's in psych too. But, no jobs!

With your BS in Psych you may want to look into a job in that prior to moving. Many places offer relocation assistance as part of the job offer. It is certainly worth a look and see. Education (in my opinion) is never a waste.

So look into the LPN programs in Colorado you may find one you like better. Good Luck.

With a BA ins Pysh you could always go into a Accelerated BSN program for people with previous degrees! Regis has one and it is really good and I had a friend recently get in. I would go that route there is also several other programs too

Good Luck!

Something to think about...

You will be considered an out of state resident until you have lived in CO for 1 year. The tuition cost is much much cheaper when it is in state.

I'm looking to move to CO too and I think it is a smart idea to line up a job before moving. Be it a CNA or LPN job, at least that way you know you will have a source of income. Otherwise you never know how long it will take before getting a job. Like you I have a huge credit card bill and without a job I don't have enough savings to cover living costs and pay it off.
