Project Working Mom:
Putting Education to Work

Hey. I live in West Virginia and am totally interested in trying to take online classes to further my education. I do have a 2 year old son that I spend most of my time with but I also have a laptop at home so it'd be easier for me to take classes online. I'm just scared about being able to pay for it and all the money situations. Right now, my husband,son, and I are doing pretty well but we're not living the high life with nice cars and a big fancy house. We're renting and garage apartment and I got my car for free. How do I know if I can afford college? My husband is still paying on his loans from when he went to college but now he's talking about going back to college. I need a chance to do something for myself. Can someone help me out or mentor me? I  seriously need help and have no one to talk to. Please and thank you.

Hi! My name is tanya and I live in albany, new york looking to move to hamilton virigina next year. To answer or give advice on your situation I would say find you a part time job or even a volunteer job that you may like and look into putting your 2 year old in to daycare so that you can have the extra money to pay for daycare and at the same time do something for yourself God forbid something was to happen to your husband at least you would have something to fall back on and online school would be a great start it's fun and easy but also you have to be  very much monitoring your due dates and assignments will find yourself happy and so will your husband and son. As far as paying for the school there are scholarships and finanical aide to help pay for it. I hope this has helped you and don't forget to pray that's a biggi....... Good luck and God bless
