Answer 1

What you should do is to try to consult with some of the public resources that are available to teens who are in your situation.  Contact one of the local teen centers and see if they can refer you to a place where you can find helpful resources such as for you and/or your husband to get help to go back to school to try to earn your GEDs, find a reliable and trustworthy daycare center where you can put your daughter in while you are at work and help you find ways to try to gain a successful career path.

You sound like you have a good and sensible head on your shoulders and I really wish you alot of success.

Good Luck!

This is a tough one, but going back to school is the right way out, it just will take some time, Find a time(s) when your husband can watch your daughter and find a class or 2 that you can take at that time, talk to financial aid and a counselor at the college, there are always options for paying for this, don't worry about that part, they will help you. It may take 3-4 years to complete a 2 year degree this way, but employers (good ones), like people who are in school, it means they are ambitious, that they want to get ahead). After you have some time in school (8 credits or more) Look for a  new job in the field you are studying, Often an employer will pay, or help pay for your schooling, often this depends on grades. You may need to take a lesser job, for example if you want to be a nurse you may want to start at a hospital doing anything related, nurses aide, take a 6 week course in phlebotomy (the people that draw blood) and as you progress in school you will be able to apply from inside the company whenever an opening  comes up. By the time your daughter is ready for kindergarten you should be in a better position. The next few years will be rough, but going back to school is the best course, maybe your husband will learn from your example and do the same thing,
