mw... money isn't everything.. If you are worried about her making more money that you, you won't be together too long. Money in your relationship shouldn't be an issue. Love and friendship is what matters. Then together the two of you can handle any financial situation.
Its easy to get depressed if you look at all of the negatives at one time. Hell, I was disabled from my dream job and told I would never work again. I was more upset that I couldn't do my job than I was at losing the money or the use of my leg.
Guess its all in the way you look at things.. 10 years later I had learned to deal with the fact that my wife was the breadwinner and I was Mr. Mom and doing the whole PTA thing.
Once I learned that lesson in humility I could see that money doesn't matter. You have to learn to deal with a little before you can deal with a lot.
10 years later I had a miracle surgery, got my leg back and got my life back... money isn't an issue and I work because I can and because I have a job that most people would pay big money to do... To me its not work if you love it.
My advice to you since you asked, is to check out sites like Monster.com and look for jobs that you think might interest you. Find out which jobs have the most postings or openings and if its really that important to you, which pay the best...
Then focus your career path in that direction. Don't worry about the financial aid.. Those things have a way of working themselves out... You just have to look for other resources...
The fact that you want to go to school and better yourself puts you ahead of most of the kids you graduated with in High School. You are already ahead of the game.. Keep your chin up and keep pushing forward... Your efforts will be rewarded with your learning of many new things along the way... The school of hard knocks is one of life's best teachers..
If you look at it right, being out of your parents house since 15 will be a huge blessing for you.. You have learned to survive without them. Most kids can't do that and would be terrified at the thought.. You have a lot going for you.. probably more than you realize... Wonder how many kids from your graduating class post on stock message boards. How many would really know what a "pinkie" is besides that dumb ass little finger??
Kick some ass kid... take names along the way.. You'll be fine.. Let us know what you decide..
