Disclaimer: sorry, but if I already have a post on this topic, it's a little old and probably doesn't exactly cover this topic, so that's why I'm starting yet another thread. I apologize if it is not proper etiquette for this forum. A few members have expressed frustration with my tendency to post multiple related topics and then not exactly respond to the information I've received. I apologize for this, and if you see anything that resembles improper etiquette on the forum, I welcome your corrections or advice. I guess it's wrong to treat every forum like a gaming forum.
With that, though, does anyone know where or how I could apply for even more money for school without joining the military? Here's what I did. I wasted my opportunity in my twenties by taking out huge loans and not watching my spending. At first, I started off being super-frugal but living on campus without a job quickly ate through my grants and loans. I regret it now, because now I have a huge balance over my head, and what's worse, I can't continue going to school without paying out-of-pocket. School was also a lot like therapy or personal development for me. The college offered chances to take things that expand creativity, like art, music, film, drama, and public speaking.
I thought about getting really creative and maybe even living without a house (or with a friend or relative) so that I could afford more school.
