ORIGINAL: HeatherMcLeather My finances are also a problem, the others have all said that it doesn't matter, that they will split things three ways, but I'd rather pay my share somehow. Since I'm going to be taking my equivalency courses, it appears I'm eligible for some social assistance, but that is a bit of a sticking point with Hanners. I'm not sure how it works up there, but here, if you are on public assistance, you qualify for more student aid. This includes paying for certain types of certification (Example: becoming a certified substance abuse counselor) and/or a work-study program and education grants. You can still qualify for some of those things without the social assistance, but the simple fact that you have it makes you eligible for more. If your assistance programs are similar, then it's worth your while to take the help temporarily while you're in school. I did, and I don't regret it for a minute. Maybe Hannah will consider it if it helps facilitate your education. In addition, in some areas for those without a high school diploma there are government programs that teach a skill/job placement programs so that you can earn money while you are finishing your GED. Maybe, there is something like that where you are. I don't know how much you like children, but child care is always an option too.
