I am nineteen, and I want to go to college really bad!! The problem is that I have a child so I have to work a full time job. I could do online courses, but I am unsure as to how to get all of that started. If any one can provide any information I would really appreciate it. Also information on scholarships, and government grants would be appreciated. Thanks for any and all help!! :) :D :) :D

Wow, I applaud you for having the drive to further your education. I think I would suggest that you look into a community college as a start. Depending on what you want to do, most if not all credits can be transferred to a 4 year college later. Community college is also usually a lot less cost per credit hour. My daughter just started back to school for her masters. She has a lazy husband and two kids. It can be done, just takes a lot of drive.

Thanks. I need something online though so I can still spend time with my baby

First step is to tell us a little about what your intended major is and how you plan to use the degree.

There are several good online schools and 100's of bad ones, if you would tell us what field you are interested in we can recommend a few good ones. Once you find one, they will have people who can help with applying for various grants and loans.

I want to major in accounting, or business management

I was 17 when I had my first child I always wanted to be a travel consultant I though I had no hope o ever doing this someone told me you can achieve any thing if you put your mind to it.
I went to college gained my qualifications got a job and then became maager of a travel shop.

I now work from home and never regret any decision I made most of the time at college I was tired had no money and really wanted to give up.
Do not know how thecollege and stuff works in America but I hope you get what you want I did.

As for scholarships, I would recommend fastweb.com. You enter all of your information, what you are interested in, etc. and they send you hundreds of possible scholarships. You just have to decide which ones you want to fill out. Best of luck!
