I've been wracking my brain trying to come up with a solution, and I am so frustrated that I feel like throwing up my hands. I want to make it clear that I would just like some advice... not money. I've been in a rut for a long time and I'm beginning to feel powerless, because I've done things to initiate change and I've tried to change my life, and every attempt has failed. I have this feeling that no matter how hard I try, my life is out of my control. I would like to have a career and escape the dead-end town I live in, but I feel "stuck." I graduated from school with a BA in Spanish and it was a mistake. I would like to teach English abroad, and I enrolled in a career training course, which takes place in November. This is the career I have my heart set on, at least for now. I found the best course available, and was accepted, but the problem is that there doesn't seem to be any external funding available. My problem is, that I need to have $6,000 by the end of November, or I don't get to go.
I've looked into grants, but there don't seem to be any that apply to me. I looked into a loan at my bank, and that wasn't an option. My family isn't in a position to help me out. With my current job, the most that I can save by the deadline is $2,000. I've applied for 40 part-time jobs, and literally every single place has turned me down. I've tried putting up fliers advertising my services as a Spanish tutor, with no luck.
I'm at the end of my rope, and I just feel like throwing my hands up. I want to give up but don't have it in me. It just feels like my life is out of my control, despite everything I've done to change my luck, it just backfires. It's taking a toll on my health, I can barely eat anything because I'm so freaked out abour my future, and I lie awake with knots in my stomach. I'm a nervous wreck, and it's killing me physically. I don't want to be another year older and stuck in the same rut, but it just seems like I'm powerless to control my life. I would like to hear from anyone who has an idea about how I can get the money I need for career training? I would be grateful for any idea, as long as it's HELPFUL, and doesn't involve doing anything immoral, or illegal. I would like to reiterate that I'm not soliciting money... but I desperately need some helpful ideas about how to get money... I know that some people are smarter than me and I'm counting on you.
What are some ideas to come up with the money by the end of Novermber?
If you can help me, thank you, THANK YOU :)
