I am not sure how that works. If you are a post-baac at your same school I know you don't get grants or whatever. If you change school are you eligible? Or is it only for loans?
Anyhoo . . it really depends. You are making a wager versus your future earnings. Assuming you were going back for say . . teaching . . is there an alternative route? In NJ you don't need a teachers certification if you get hired through the alternative route.
Whta kind of debt are you looking at for a year and a half? And have you tried finding a rich man to go out with that might help out?

Unfortunately, unclassified students like me aren't eligible for aid or scholarship money, so all that's left is loans *insert horror-stricken look* I'm looking at another 44 hours, probably, and I'm scared that once I'm done with this, I won't get hired anywhere and I won't be able to pay off the debt. All my life I've been told that loans are Bad and to avoid them at all costs. It took my dad 10 years to pay off a measly $4,000 student loan from when he went back to school. So guys, is it really that bad? I mean, I don't want to end up working at Wal-Mart with two college degrees to get out of debt because no one will hire me! I'm kind of upset about it because until today I thought I was going to be able to get some kind of aid, and I'm starting to reconsider going back to school.
