College Cogitating

I know that some peo­ple take time off to go to school and get a degree, liv­ing on stu­dent loans. When I had a stu­dent loan, long ago, it just cov­ered the bare tuition amount—not even books. So how do you do that?

I’m real­ly won­der­ing if that would be the best thing for me to do—go back to school and get a degree so that I could make a much bet­ter liv­ing when I do go back to work. It’s all the way on the oth­er side of town and I HATE dri­ving, but South­ern Tech (sor­ry, South­ern Poly­tech­nic State Uni­ver­si­ty now) has a tech writ­ing degree and I keep think­ing about it.

But I have a child. And this fam­i­ly with sam­bear. And things like a car pay­ment. And I real­ly, real­ly need health insur­ance, which I can’t get right now. And those are the things I can’t quite fig­ure out yet.
