I wanted to go back and get my psychology degree. I was on unemployment until recently for 18 months and got some BS about being eligible for a Pell Grant to get a degree, well, guess my unemployment was enough to decide that I was not eligible. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to get into any more debt with student loans so that dream is flushed...and no, I am an white,American, middle aged woman, and never been in the military, and don't speak spanish, so therefore, there are no scholarships for me.. With the rising costs of college, I do hope that the younger ones can get in and get an education now.
Money plays big role
