1. Student loans; I have all the information I will need. Once I apply for a student loan I am automatically applied for certain grants. (up to 1200 a year)
2. $1200 of free money is a lot. it could pay for your books.
3. The career I would like to pursue is funded and payed for by the government and after a certain amount of years they send you back to school to take a few classes. They do not pay you while you are in school so the best way to do it is take the four courses and split them into two. work full time during the days and take your classes at night, your work and school load will not be as hard and stressful by doing it this way and you will still be able to financially support yourself.
