Going to college....maybe...
12 years ago
Well I more recently became aware that I actually might qualify for a grant, however reality shows that I'd still need to get a student loan which is what always stopped me from going before because my only work experience is usually around the minimum wage range as the most I've ever been paid was as a Dock Worker for $11.11 an hour and that sadly didn't last long before that warehouse was closed. Even with my experience as an assistant manager, I realize I never got completely certified or took any real training so I can't really consider myself with any real manager experience. Even then the pay was under $10 an hour, and was an hourly position since salary usually required some driver's license in the two places that I was 'management' for the case of if I needed to go to another store within the company, which was either fast food or retail being my only true experience.
My dream job is to go into something with software development or computer programming, so I'm looking to go to college for that and have even gotten as far as talking to colleges and seeing what they are like. I'd only be able to online however due to the inability to travel which is perhaps my main hindrance in finding employment since I've been unemployed for over a year now and living in a mostly residential area makes it hard to walk to work since I'd be walking quite far to get anywhere that would potentially hire me. However I am not getting my hopes up either, if I don't get accepted for FAFSA then there's no chance I'll even be able to go, and I can only hope to get a grant so I won't have to pay back the full loan as that would just put me further in debt.
