    Is it possible for you to work less and focus on your degree? What is your field? Do you need the formal education to get where you want to go?

    Re: How do I bounce back
    I would consider the response given by sbridgen. However, if you truly need to attend school, at age 20 and still an undergraduate you should be eligible for some degree of financial assistance. How much will depend mostly on your parents' socioeconomic status with consideration given to things such as assets , debts and how many other students in college they're currently suppporting. If your parents don't support you, that probably qualifies you for all the more assistance. However, you must apply and complete all paperwork and forms. Check with the financial aid office of your school ; they'll be able to steer you in the right direction. Money is never an obstacle to acquiring an education ; you just need to know where to look.
