I have a problem...I work full time and go to college full time (the classes are on the internet, yes it's a real college). I can't afford to not work full time. But I also can't afford to take classes just part time, because my student aid is reduced so drastically if I don't maintain ';full time student'; status that it becomes too expensive for me. I don't really WANT to takeclasses just part time, because I want my degree as soon as possible. I hate the job I have now and don't want to spend any more time in it than I have to.
I am having a LOT of trouble doing work and school full time. Work is suffering from me being tired and stressed from late nights studying every day, and my schoolwork is suffering because I am at work from 9 to 5 every day and come home tired. (My job involves very irate/emotionally unstable people, plus a large workload on top of that).
I am almost certain that, in this economy and in my town's TERRIBLE job market (we made national headlines, it's so bad) that I would not be able to find a comparable job for the wage I earn now. I would probably have to take a job that pays $3+ less per hour, which I can't afford to do.
So I can't afford to work part time, I can't afford to go to school part time, and my sanity cannot afford to continue at this pace for much longer. I am stressed and weepy and tired and not happy.
I live reasonably and frugally and don't have excessive debt.
Someone, please help before I lose it.
I don't know what to do.
Thank you so much for reading this, I know it is annoying to listen to people whine but I don't know what else to do...Desperate for help with a bad situation...ANY relevant advice is needed!?
Take a break. If you can, take some time off from work and do nothing. Surround yourself with greens and blues. They are relaxing colors. Also, take a 20 minute power nap in the afternoon. It will help keep you refreshed.Desperate for help with a bad situation...ANY relevant advice is needed!?
I'm not sure where you live, but here in Canada we have Employment Insurance for people who goto school and the govn't gives them money each month so that they can get a better education.
Try moving to canada if you don't live here already
any way to move in with someone to help save on bills till you are done with school?
