I really want to start up taking some college classes again. I decided shortly after I graduated last time that I had not received the degree I wish I had. I got my bachelors in business and human resources which is what I thought would be a good idea at the time because it applies to a lot of different professions but around the time I graduated, I began to see how flawed our healthcare system is and wanted to go into patient advocacy. For this, I would need at least a social work degree. Well, I don't have the means to start taking classes again and to apply for federal aid, you can't already have a degree. Does anyone have any ideas to help me??

Maybe you can consider studying part-time. That means you don't give up your job. There are some courses that are part online. They are cheaper than conventional classes. What about voluntary work? Is it possible for you to be a volunteer and have your tuition fees partly paid by some social bodies?

I can't even afford to take one class right now while working full time. My expenses are just too high for it. I took most of my bachelors online so it is definately an option but still very expensive. I may have to look into the volunteering suggestion though. I may be able to work something out with the hospital I'd like to work it. It's a long shot but I'll try, thanks for the suggestions!!

GOOD| its very good that you are trying to start your study again. People think that if they have graduated or have done their masters then its enough but we should try to learn more and more because education is a key of success. You should apply for the federal aid i think they must help you or You can also discuss your matter with different college management.

Could you apply for a Master's Degree? I have two Master's Degrees and was able to get financial aid. I had attended Walden University and it was all online. I would look into Walden University and see if they can help you out. Walden is a great school and are very helpful.
