Get a student loan and work off your failures in community college.  That's what I'm doing.

Answer 3

I can relate I did graduate high school but after my first semester at college i got sick and had to come back home. I hate sitting around myself so i understand goin crazy even if you do not know what you want go to a community college and get a simply associates you can use in different areas such as business, etc a local community college is usually less than $ 3000. Dont feel sorry for yourself just get the strength to get back into school. Good luck

Answer 6

you have choices, and school can be life, you can learn anything that you want to and especially if you are free, if you don't want to be in school or in work you are not going to do good at it and if you have other issues in your life maybe you need to work them out.

Answer 7

Hey, don't sweat it...seriously. That's great that you want to be in school. That is such a wonderful asset. Believe me when I say that a large portion of the people in school right now don't want to be there, or don't have any idea what to do...they're just taking classes.

So, in some respects you're ahead of the game. Set some goals for yourself. Yeah, $20k is a lot, but it's not impossible. If that's what you want to do then work for it. The worst thing that can happen is that you work and save and when the time comes - you decide that's not what you want to do...and you've got $20k that you can use for something else.

What they really don't tell you early in life is that you're going to be "going to school" in one respect or another for the rest of your life. I'm a successful I.T. professional and I study computer books ALL THE TIME. You never stop learning. So, if you're out of school and you really can't get back in for a few months, or a year, or more - then learn a trade, or a skill, or get a job somewhere where you can get exposure.

Believe me...there's a million possibilities out there. Hang in there, don't get stressed. This could be a blessing in disguise - you never know. :D
