College vs. money?

Question:

I'm getting my diploma in about a week, and I want to go to a technical college this fall. I haven't actually made any steps toward going yet. It seems like all of my paychecks go towards paying off my one credit card, even though I work close to 40 hours a week. I'm hesitant to start applying for college courses if I have zero money saved and my income is basically neutral. Should I wait several months until I rise out of debt and/or get a 2nd job, and risk not being able to get in until next year? What kinds of programs can I look for to help me go to college? Any advice?

Answer:
gosh

Go talk to someone in the financial aid department at the school you want to go to. You might be able to get grants or scholarships. They will also be able to tell you how much college is actually going to cost so you can plan better. Having more information about what it will take to go to college will help you make a better decision.

I am assuming you are getting out of high school. So are you working, your parents are taking care of housing, food, etc. or are you paying for all of that and still paying for the card? Are you going to have to pay for this yourself?

Sure there are progams, grants and such but getting them will take time and even when you do it will take forever to get a degree. Can be done but....

The heck with all this uncertainty and ecking out money to move forward. A second job? Just join the military in a non-combat kind of job. Just a couple of years... food, housing and clothing. Free college classes while you are in. Tons of money after for school and you at the front of the line for grants. Plus it looks great on a resume... whatever the field.

Point is... stop beating your head against a wall and don't think small.
