Can I get back to School?

If you're working now, and need to keep working, then your best option is to check out the colleges near you, and see what they offer in terms of part-time degree programs. Don't skip the community colleges!

In fact, I'm thinking a cc might be ideal. First, they will accept you with a GED, or even with no HS diploma at all (talk to them about that - it's possible that they can either hook you up with a GED prep class, or put you into specific college classes that will allow them to grant you your GED themselves.) You'd get your associates first, and then, if you wanted to, you could transfer on for your bachelors. But the benefit is that if you decided to stop after the associates, you could, and you'd have that degree in the bank. You quit halfway through a full bachelors program at a four year school, you get nothing. But that amount of time is an entire associates degree at a cc!

If you take just two classes per term, which is a typical part-time load, you can get financial aid to help you cover the cost; and you can keep your normal job, so no one starves. Yes, it means your degree takes longer, but so be it.

There are some fields that all you need is an associates. Talk to the ccs near you, and find out which majors are in high demand where you live. Things like nursing, dental hygiene, dental assisting, medical assisting, accounting, engineering technology, tend to be in demand. Find out what's in demand where you are. Then find out how to get into that major. There can sometimes be pre-requisite courses you need to take, before you can apply to the major - you could get started on those this spring.

The other option is to use your degree to advance within your current field. For example, if you're a waitress, you could get a degree in business or retail management, and use that to move up onto a management track. If you're working in a factory, look around you to learn which associates degrees would be the most impactful there re: career advancement - is it one in business, or in engineering tech, or chemistry, or in drafting? What's useful there, and interesting to you?

Is the father of your daughter in your life? Is he working, or just working at a low-level job? If so, then while you're in school part-time on M and W eves, maybe *he* can go to the same school on Tu and Th eves (trading off childcare), and train for a trade. Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, welding are in demand in a lot of the US, and the pay is quite good. Likewise, if you'd like, you can look at the trades as well. But pick something that's in demand and fairly recession-proof, like electrical. Skip construction and etc.

Get your General Education Degree, and attend a local community college. Student loans are a pain in the butt, but it's better than never being able to make more than minimum wage. Go into something you love, or take liberal arts courses to transfer into a university. Many scholarships are out there that are never claimed, so ask an adviser at a local college for help finding some that fit your needs. If you live in a densely populated area, chances are good that you can find a college that help with childcare, as many do. They can also assist you with housing for you and your child.

Going back to school will be hard, but it will be the smartest thing you do if you study hard.

Where I'm from public schooling isn't very well so if you happen to wish a well schooling you must attend to a individual one. But this relatively relies, a few public faculties are very well and a few are very dangerous, simply as a few individual faculties are very well and others very dangerous.

Go to a college.

Colleges take in people in any ages etc.

Yea you really do need an education,have you never heard of student loans or grants? DUH
