New Plans

[december_solstice]

Ideally, I'd like to get my Masters online from Southern New Hampshire University. They have competitive prices, especially for graduate degrees. The New School, where I originally planned to get my Masters, would have cost me about $3500 per course, whereas it would cost me half that here. I could collect enough financial aid to cover my tuition. Because the courses will be online, I will have an open schedule to work a regular job.

Problem is, my $1500 balance at The New School still needs to be paid off. I still need to pay that off or they will not release my transcripts. And, I will not be able to apply elsewhere. I should inquire anyway.

Again, ideally, I don't want to waste any time. I don't want to take a lot of time off. All that does is extend the time in which I don't have my degree. That puts me further away from my goal.

I don't know. Should I start some kind of fundraising page? I don't think it will be successful unless I have a big enough presence online.

I also don't like asking for help, but my wife is slowly beating it into me that "no one can do everything by themselves". Now I'm even going to go to the social services to ask for help soon, our own living situation is really bad but my wife doesn't want to go because her parents and family claim they won't help etc (her parents are why we even have to go in the first place - i short they're very emotionally abusive among other things). And I can't go by myself, I'm not even a citizen so they might not help me.

I keep thinking that if I can just sit down and /do/ something, someone will buy it. I mean people are buying gay erotica books like "My Boss Is A Dinosaur". People buy miniature doll furniture. It honestly can't be THAT hard to make money, it's just that finishing something - something that can be sold and that appeals to the general public and that you then advertise in a way that appeals to the general public - is hard when you're not one of those "general public" people...
