Bad college situation. Really need advice please!?

So here's my story:





I've been going to a community college for about a year and half. Although I was passing some of my classes, I withdrew from a majority of them. About half way through the last semester, I decided that I wanted to just drop out and find another route to my aimed career since college wasn't exactly necessary. However, I am now changing my mind and realized what my true passion is.





Now here's where the problem stands. I still owe the school money that I currently don't have. I've obviously been put on financial aid probation. I'm about to lose my job because the place is closing and have a few bills too pay including two credit debts that need to be taken care of. The bills aren't too bad since I'll be making 200 a month without my job, but I still don't have money save for school. The way I see it I can either take time off until I do have the money or get a loan if that's still possible. But how does that work when I transfer?





By the way, I am most definitely taking my education seriously this time around. And I am a smart person, I just make horrible decisions at times. But anyway, sorry for the long explanation, but I'm in dire need of advice.Bad college situation. Really need advice please!?
A friend of mine was in a similar situation and she was also suspended from receiving faid. She had to show that she was serious about school and she began taking a class or two at a time until she raised her gpa up to what faid was asking. She had to pay for them, and she worked to pay for the classes. although she had to begin slowly, she eventually raised her gpa and faid began helping her again. do something similar and raise your GPA until faid begins to help you, they need to see that your serious this time areounnd.Bad college situation.

take the time off, save money asise and put yourself on a payment plan. SO if you can give $30-40 a month then maybe you can pay it off that way. See what your financial aid advisor says.
