Hello. I am a 23 year old female who is currently unemployed at the moment and I am going out everyday and doing extensive job search through the Internet and the newspapers. I apply for whatever job is out there and I get no call backs so I decide that I want to go back to school to get a higher education so I want to major in Fashion and Retail Management at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh-online so I registered for class, I filled out the FAFSA form for financial aid and all and I even asked my aunt and cousin for their views on me going back to school to get a degree even though I’m unemployed and have no income. They both told me that I should wait until I can get a job and take care of my personal finances but the thing is that I have no job and no money to take care of my bills and I SERIOUSLY think that by getting a higher education, it would look good on my resume and I can get a good paying career so that I can take care of all my bills and get out of debt. What do you guys think? Should I wait until I get a job or should I go to school so that I can pursue my career???

I’m currently working on my PhD, but lately, as my student loans skyrocket, I worry if I am making the right choice. I know you folks can’t make the decision for me, but would you stay in school and worry about the debt later? Or, would you drop out, and stop the debt from continuing [...]

I unwittingly entered a debt consolidation program with cesi and wish to stop. I have medical reasons from Iraq and I sometimes am overly impulsive. Has anyone ever stopped participation in one of these programs?
My student debt as of now is $ 4,247.77. My social security benefits has been offset to the US Treasury to the tune of $ 8,473.65 to date, almost double the debt, but the debt doesn’t reduce.

I’m creating a debt reduction plan, and one of the questions I have is this: is it better (financially) to eliminate mortgage debt before educational loan debt? I want to pay the least amount of interest so I would think the higher interest rate (mortgage) is what I should pay. However, there are tax advantages [...]
I need $ 7000 for a school tuition and try to find the smartest way to finance that. The private school does not offer student loans from the government. What do you think? And what is it about the advertisement “mothers get money from the state to get back to school”? I will be a [...]
(help my family keep home) Why do big companies only see me as a number and not as a person? I know that every body has their sad sob stories but why can’t big companies listen to them and let people prove that they are telling the truth? Why is money so much more important [...]
I love a lot of things. I have conisdered almost every single career. However, its holding me back because instead of picking one career and pursuing it I can’t pick any.
