Anything you can sell? Seriously, you might consider it if it's important enough and what you're selling is replaceable. Otherwise, you can always take a leave of absence to save up the money and finish when you're better off. I bet you really don't want to postpone your graduation date, but if you can't finance this semester/quarter, it doesn't mean you're done for.

THIS IS NOT A SUGGESTION!!! MEARLY SHARING...........

My brother in law was in a similar financial situation trying to finish his last year, and he took part in those experimental drug trails. He stayed in the facility for four days, then came in for a few follow up visits, and got cut a check for $3500.

I've been giving that some thought lately myself...

This isn't exactly the best climate for a disabled high school dropout to find a job. :?

I signed up for it once, but I was to far down the list. They needed to match us up with men over 65, and couldn't find as many of them as us willing to gamble.

Thanks for the suggestions, but...

As for the leave of absence, I can't. If I am not a full time student, I lose my medical coverage. And I need my medical coverage.

As for the drug trials, I actually looked for some, and nothing (legal) was available... that I could find in my area.

Thank you for caring though.

I've got my fingers crossed; I found a lease house that is willing to work with me even though I can't prove I make 4 times the rent in income. I'll just pay double deposit, and three or four months rent in advance. I'm going to meet the guy tomorrow, tour the house, etc.

I can't begin to describe how happy I'll be when I get out of this damn apartment...

Luck to both of you guys. Seriously, you both need and deserve a break already. I've got my fingers crossed for you.

Thanks, Mark. It's a pretty nice house, too. No lawn. :lol:
