Any good suggestions on where I can find $ to go back to school?

[cookiepuss]

I've decided to change careers and I'm researching loans, grants and scholarships. Can anyone point me in the direction of some decent providers of said resources?

I've got a degree in communications but I've decided that all I've ever wanted to do was work in a vet hospital, so I want to retrain as a vet assistant or technician.

Please don't ask me why I've wasted 10 years of my life on other jobs that I never found my groove in. I've just been silly.

I'm a little freaked out, because I know that making this change is something that I need to do to be happy in life, but it's a 180 from my current job in finance. It's not going to be easy. I will probably need to work full time and school part-time unless I get some really great funding for school.

I'm excited that I've finally figured out what I want to do! and I'm nervous about how I will accomplish it.

One thing if you don't already know about it, is FastWeb (http://www.fastweb.com/). Tons of scholarships you can search through specific to you, your major, your age/heritage/blah blah blah are there.

Other things, no suggestions as of right now. But best of luck. :)

If you own your own home you could refinance and use the equity money for school.

Start stripping on the weekends

^Stripping probably would be the fastest way to make some school money. I almost have the body for it. almost :(



I think I'll stick to applying for government money. Uncle Sam takes enough of my money. I demand he give some of it back to me for a good cause.

To my understanding you can only get grants for undergraduate degrees. You can't get them for advanced degrees. However, I don't know if you can get them for another undergarate degree, if you already have one.

Well since most women are usually harder on themselves than they should be I'd say you're probaby good to go but if you want to audition for me that would be okay I guess :D
