My wife is a 12 year nurse making @33.00 an hour in Macomb county.

Yeah I realize, I have to pay back a loan.. thats why its called a loan! haha Im not worried about paying it back.. just getting through school with as little stress as possible!

Thanks for the info. When I apply.. do I just request X amount.. or do I have to show them how much my tuition/books .. all that stuff is? Im enrolled for 14 credit hours for the winter semester, Im assuming they need to know all of that. Thanks again for the info and the kind words everyone!

Hi all, Im asking this here because Im sure some of you have had similar situations. My wife makes good money, she is already a nurse.. 12 years. I however have been downsized from the automotive industry. so i make nothing haha (I know..not funny). I DID make very good money.. WITHOUT a degree.. those days are over.. so in seeing the joy my wife has from her job and being inspired by her, I have decided Id like to go into nursing now that the "opportunity" has been given to me. My question is.. we have just bought a new home in the last couple years.. which really cleaned out our saving, so we are thinking of going down the private student loan route. I was wondering.. CAN a private student loan (ala Sallie Mae) be used for general bills and whatnot to cover what I wont be bringing into the family finances? Id like to goto school full time and maybe work a part time job.. prob needing @ 8k (on top of tuition and books) a year to supplement her income along with the part time job to keep everything paid and save our credit. Any info from your personal experiences would be great.. thanks all

Gongrats!! If you dont mind.. how many slots vs applicants were there?

jabraham99 your thinking is backwards.. by your numbers , you have a better chance to get into mcc if you average your applicant estimate at baker to 470.
