Ok, here I go again. I am so confused as what to do here. As many of you know, my H & I reconcilled. However, he feels that I should be self-supportive & completely independent. I've been having some pretty serious health issues over the last month. I don't know if I will ever be able to drive again or even be able to work out of the home. I have been wanting to take a course from Allied Schools for Medical Transcription. I can get the course done for less than $4,000.00. The thing is, my H does NOT want me working from home. He also says we don't have the money for it. We do, he's just so tight he squeaks. I am really considering on going ahead & starting the schooling even if he "disapproves." What do y'all think I should do?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
STBX sat down and calmly told the Mediator that I knew how to use a computer and sew-He shouldn't have to "pay" for me to go to school.
The Mediator told him that he had made a Grave Error in that Thought Pattern.
Regarding schooling.
- Check with the local community college. If you can manage to get there, you can probably get an applied certificate in a related field for less than the 4,000.
- Consider taking a student loan. Explain to him that this course will help you make more money and you want to take the loan and pay it yourself. How can he argue against that?
The community colleges have the best programs and they will get you the skills you need to continue in your education, if you later want to get a bachelor's degree. I live in the Phoenix Metropolitan area. Here, Rio Salado Community College has an OUTSTANDING reputation with its online classes. Plus, you can always switch to a ground campus and, here, even take classes at a different county college and transfer them in without a problem.
Furthermore, community colleges have "articulation" agreements with universities. You can ask your community college advisor (VERY helpful) who the college has these agreements with - these "articulation" agreements guarantee that your classes will transfer and help you complete a bachelors more quickly.
As a graduate, student and advisor, I would be more than happy to help you with any other questions you might have about college. Exploring all the options is just that start of the fun part! :) "
I always wanted to do carpentry. After my bachelors degree, I went back to college to get an associates in Carpentry. Plus, after 911, I couldn't find any marketing work (work was SO scarce then, in general) and my BA allowed me to substitute teach. Instead, I got an offer to become emergency certified and received a full-time teacher's salary. Meanwhile, Rio Salado and some of the other colleges allow a program for people with non-teaching degrees which allows us to complete half our MASTER'S credits AT THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE (can you believe that?! dirt cheap!) and *then* finish at the university. The classes could also been done online, at our pace, mostly. So I accelerated them and did the tested for each class on the same day (because you get flexibility on testing dates as well). You have real teachers who are licensed and helpful. It was pretty amazing and made it easy to go from a bachelor's to a master's and CHEAPLY!
Talk to the schools around you and, remember, you can always talk to me, too! :)
