Grad school situation...

i'm so frustrated. I've been looking at grad schools, but i have a lot of problems to overcome and it's making me so discouraged

1. my grades, i left my undergrad in psych with a 2.9... !!!!! I'm not a good candidate for grad school.., according to everyone i've talked to... (i was wayyyy to involved in my sorority.... )

2. I started taking classes at the college I work for, and they had me take classes non-matriculated because I didn't have the GPA for matriculation, therefore I couldn't get loans. I don't make enough money to survive (not even live.. i mean SURVIVE) at my full time job, so I have to waitress nights and weekends. Usually, thursdays, fridays, saturdays, sundays, and a tuesday or something.... So, I don't have enough time to do my work, my field work, or anything. Plus I hated the program and I dropped out. This will not work in my favor either.

3. I have no money, and have loans from my undergrad that I defered during my grad classes, but now i REALLY can't pay them... My credit history is Horrible.

I feel so utterly defeated and discouraged. I feel like I'm going to get stuck in my job for forever, because I need experience in mental health or counseling in order to go to grad school to overcome my GPA but I can't get experience until I have a degree. It's an awful catch-22....

does anyone have advice or suggestions... or can anyone commisserate?
I have looked around a little for some grad assistantships... but i feel so defeated that I don't even feel like its worth it.
help!
