[quote=Anonymous]I really get the impression you don't want to work or to go to school.

[quote]I have exhausted my financial aid. [b]I owe 75,000 in loans[/b], 10,000 being directly to the school. I had no help or guidance as a child. I took out the maximum amount to live on every year. I did well, but I wasn't driven. I dropped classes for random reasons, took classes that didn't apply toward my degree, and [b]eventually had to work full time when my ex left and I couldn't support myself without working more[/b]. I would do things so differently if I could go back. It has been a while since I've been out of school. I have no interest in any more loans. I was a biology major and there is no way I could pick up where I left off. I would love to be a teacher, especially preschool, but that takes more schooling and more loans for a job that pays less than what I currently make. But, I want stability. [b]I also, if things progress with my boyfriend, want to start a family of my own and would love to stay home to raise my own children. I feel like I'm waiting for someone to financially support my dreams, but I'm great with kids and would love to fulfill that role of mother and homemaker.[/b] [/quote]

You are depending on someone else for your stability.  Wake up.  I had a kid when I was 19.  I had no guidance and no responsible adult figures in my life.  I didn't go to school.  But I worked hard and found my own independence.  It looks like you are looking for your happily ever after and constantly 'hitch' yourself to whatever man you are with.  I am not saying there is anything wrong with being a SAHM.  In fact, I think that is admirable.  But, based on your pattern (taking money out to live on, looking for a man to financially support you) - you don't seem to WANT to be independent or working.  There are plenty of careers to be had that don't require schooling.  There are also careers (such as nursing) in which you can get your foot in the door with an AA.  What do you WANT???[/quote]
