I'm trying to get back into college. Can I take a student loan out, get a credit card, or some type of loan until I get some type of steady income. I just recently lost my job in December. Is there a website online that I can make money off of? I'm trying to get back into school now, but my financial aid won't go through on the website. What should I do? How can I get out of this jam?

Have you filled out the FASFA? Most colleges will do the rest for you if you have filled that out. In the meantime you can get a student loan from your bank to hold you over until the aid from the government comes through. Talk to the financial aid department at the school you plan to go to, they can guide you in the right direction. Good luck!

You can easily find loans, bursaries, and such, to help you out, financially, and allow you to go back to school. Depending on your financial situation and such, your bank may allow you to get a credit card. But like I said, it really depends on your financial situation. You can easily find the information that you need through the government's website, or on your bank's website. And if you're still not sure, you can just make a phone to your bank, and I'm sure that they'll be able to help you out. Good luck with your studies!
