Open Career Changes
I am 50 and tired of living on the fixed income a total disability equals. So, I start college online this week to start my own business. I will be self-employed but if I fall on my face oh well, I tried. I am going to explore any and all scholarships. If I end up with a lozn, until I am done with school so I may end up taking a classs a semester while I pay off my loan. t. We just can't stay stuck and there are so many scholarships out there, especially ofr nurses and women.
