Today, I discovered that I don't have enough financial aid to continue going to college past this semester. I'm one semester away from graduating. FML
MyLifeSucksSoHar_fml tells us more.
OP here. To further clarify my situation, I'm working two jobs on top of being a full-time student and it's still not enough. The problem is, the government insists that a person with two jobs should have enough to pay for college so they've reduced the amount of money I can get - never mind that since I only have a high school diploma, I can only get minimum wage. Plus, I don't have any credit established - so I can't get any other loans.

I don't know much about colleges, but can't you take a temporary break to earn some money and then return for that one semester?

Go into the crack game and then become a rapper.

It's a catch-22. A college education/degree can help you get a better job where you can earn more money, but you need lots of money to attend college.

Although chances are, the college education will still have you end up at a McD's.

I think you meant to say Starbucks and that's only if you get a degree in the arts- music, painting, theatre, etc.

You need to get into the financial services office ASAP. I'm sure that one of the staffers would be able to help figure it out

Attend some job interviews with good start-ups. Since its just one semester left, they may wait for you to join by paying you upfront for a short contract. If they can get talent for cheap they'll go for it. You just gotta prove yourself.

maybe you can apply for a scholarship, or different types of grands depending on your school. Or even payments plans
