Need student loan advice


Posted: Jul 12, 2012

After being laid off from my MT job last month and unable to find a decent paying job, I've decided to go back to school and finish my degree.  I have only two semesters left to get my BS in health administration.  My problem is money.  I've been awared a Pell grant and a scholarship that will pay for school, except for about $1500 of it.  I have no problem getting a student loan for the $1500.  I am also thinking of taking out a bigger loan to pay for my living expenses while I go to school.  So, the total loan would be about $15k.  I live in a tiny town, 3000 peopl, unable to find a job here, unable to find an MT job.  I've applied to so many places and I hardly ever hear back.  I am so sick of it.  Would it be dumb of me to get this loan to pay my expenses or should I just keep job searching?  After I graduate in May 2013, I am moving to any place where I can get a job.  What would you all do?

I think that sounds like a plan... - blondie

I am also going back to school. I may get a student loan to pay some expenses while I'm going so the entire load of bills won't be on my hubbie. If you only have a year, then go for it. Get the loan so you can concentrate on school and not have to work and do school.

He likes to contradict me in public when possible and point out negatives - not so much about me specifically but demeaning comments about things like my dog or my hobbies, etc. I ask him to please not do these things in public but i ...
