Well, this is going to be long, so I apologize.
My husband lost his job a while ago and we didn't have enough to pay our big bills (including some of my student loans), so our credit is ruined. He can't cosign for me anymore. My mom is on disability and can't cosign, and his parents hate me (they say I'm a poison to their son
) and won't cosign either. This is all for the private loans. I don't know if I'll qualify for the federal loans yet. I did the past couple years, but hubby makes too much for grants. On a good note, my husband now has a job (yay!! a good one too), but he hasn't been there long enough to cosign for a loan for me and it will take a while to get our bills caught back up.
I am just about to start nursing school this coming fall (or so I thought). Now we can't afford it unless we all do some major budget reshuffling. We're thinking I'm going to have to take a year off and save up money. I really, really don't want to do this... I'm afraid I'll never go back.
I've already used all my scholarship money, and this college does not give out scholarships, and I can't apply for more because my pharmacy school grades weren't the best.
So, does anyone have any other ideas? I'm so devastated now. I NEED to get a real degree that will get me a real job that will make me real money... ASAP!!!!! I feel like such a loser... 26 years old, only one (easy-to-get) bachelors and five years of pharmacy courses to show for it. I just don't see how I'm ever going to be able to go back unless I put it off. I'm so mad ... at something... this just sucks. I'm glad I picked nursing instead of pharmacy because pharmacy school was about 32K/year, and nursing is only 9K.
Please help... I want to cry.
(Any wealthy benefactors out there want to cosign?? I'm still the one that has to pay the bills... JK
