    Why can't you work, Recovering addicts work all the time

    Are you asking us to fund you?

    I work my a$$ of, for minimum wage. I have two children, a mortgage, car payments, and can barely afford to put food on the table, even though I do have a college degree, and a husband that works. I won't be funding anyone but the two that came out of my body.

    If you want to go to college, work for it. Get a job at McDonalds if you have to.

    If you can't work because you're a recovering addict, then college won't change that.

    If you have the ability to go to college, or a trade school, you can work.

    You are looking for hand outs and don't seem to want it hard enough yet

    With each school theire is funds to help students.. You have to look them up and they can help form books to paying for school.. it all dependens were you are in this world.. The other thing is work and save up and do it that way..

    Before you do anything look at the job you want and how much it will cost to do it and the time it will take.. From then find out how much your personal bills (home, water, hydro, food, transport, ect) are and then look at home much you will need to save to attend school. Some place have scolership to help workers out.. then again it depends on where you work!

    As a last step apply for government help i.e. OSAP but really know what your getting in to and how long it will talke to pay it off.. cause some times a job you want is not hirring and it may be hard to start so look at every aspect and then decide.. you may have to do a second job that you can live with as your look for the one you want.. A trad is a good job but finding a job in it is HARD...

    Good luck..
