Apply at a bank, call center, publix, etc. Most of those places have tuition reimbursement.
These are viable options but you have to have the determination to get it done. Not to knock you but it seems like you were more interested in getting your bike, and not your education(this is the bike tech thread). I'm sure your mother saw it that way as well. She may not agree with the bike idea, and it is her credit that is at jeopardy. She is your mother but she has to think about her retirement/future also. Moms or not. Re-think the bike and maybe try to get it on your own in the future. If your showing that you want an education, your mom may reconsider. Get yourself a beater car and get your hardship license.
Keep your priorities in order, and as Cecil mentioned there are many grants out there. Go get them. They have so many stupid grants out there. Like if your left handed and like peanut butter (not really), but that's how random some of the grants are.
Where are you going to school, and what for? That will give more insight, for advice purposes. If your going to school for pharmacology, then apply at CVS and get a scholarship. More info, and just ditch the bike idea for now. Hope I didn't pry.
na its not that i cant get my bike, im much more pissed that i cant go to school but part of starting school was getting my bike so i have transportation to and from work, i was looking into getting a car but i called the dmv and they said with a car i need full coverage insurance compared to a bike i only need libility, my driving record is screwed, i have 24 points on my license from when i was 16-17 and drove like a complete ass so that only leaves me one choice, a bike. I was going to go to the Manhattan Hairstyle Acadamy for cosmotology (no im not the least bit gay but 170$ a haircut appeals to me
) and the tuition is 9,900 before jan 1st and 11,900 after jan 1st thats why i was so adament to get this taken care of as fast as possible cause i was supposed to start school on Dec 27th.. she is in brazil right now so i cant even talk to her and try to get her to reconsider and she wont be back till jan 9th.. so i dunno, maybe she will call me bright and early tomorrow morning and be like Hey ok ill go ahead and do this for you, but i doubt it.. anyways i dunno i guess ill figure something out.. as for work goes, i work for olive garden and have been there for almost a year now so i dont really want to switch jobs to bagging grocerys thats too boring for me i like my job cause i stay really busy all the time know what i mean? anyways i dunno ill keep yall posted as i figure it all out, trust me, if she calls tomm and says she will go ahead and do it, there will be a big post right up top in all caps cause that will be the best xmas gift of all
