I don;t understand why your family would be unhappy with you going back to school. Would you mind explaining?

Regarding scholarships, I suspect much depends on the major and the school you plan to attend. The school should be able to give you all sorts of information about possible scholarship and/or student loan sources.

Sincerely,

My family does want me to go, but they are just worried about my debt....thanks for the kind words, and advice! XX

Do you qualify for grants? That way you your debt won't increase. I just finished school and I went on grants.

Is your family worried about the debt you may accumulate by going to school or the debt you already have and going to school will add to it?

What alternatives are there if you don't go to college? If you were to attend college what do you think would be your major?

As always,
