Ok here it is im about to Vent again... We are soo broke its not funny. MY husband is the only income in the household. while im in school im not working, I just had a baby, and I have 3 other kids.. IM soo STRESSED!! In september its time for me to pay for the next level of nursing school. I dont know how im going to do it.. We have no $$$ Our vechile broke down.. and can hardly put food on the table.. I was thinking about having having a employer pay for my tutition and in return sign a contract to work for them for two years after I finish school... I really didnt want to do that.. But I dont have any other choice at this point.. Does anyone have any suggestions?? IT has to get better than this...

fafsa, pfftt... good luck. we have a family of 6, and i won't be getting any aid next semester. 4 kids or not. i think it stinks. my dh is also the only one working, we have to pay close to 500 if not over a month for gas and daycare for my little one.

good luck, it is a lot to worry about, i know, i hope something works out fo ryou, hang in there!

I agree with you there. I'm a sahm with 4 kids, hubby doesn't make a whole lot, and I could not believe what Fafsa said I "should" pay. Thank God I have money coming from my mother's estate to cover the rest.

And you're right - it's not just tuition. It's books and gas and childcare and uniforms, etc. Fafsa is like the stingy old woman that won't part with a dime.

Are you going to a private or state school? Most state tech schools offer some type of aid programs. Just a thought.

I'm at a community tech now, but will be attending a private Catholic college in the fall. The tuition difference is enormous, but thankfully most of my pre-req's will be done, so I won't have to pay for any of those. The difference in credit hour is $133/hr to $635/hr - quite a jump. Even the associate director of admissions told me to get as many courses done as I could where I am now.
