Open Question: What school should I go to?
Long Term Care - - Posted on January, 26 at 10:01 pm
I am going to try for one last term to get classes at the community college I dropped out of 3 years ago(this will be the 4th term that I have tried). If I cannot get any classes I want to go to a technical/trade school for dental assisting but the more that I read about them(Kaplan, American Career College, Concorde, etc..) the more I don’t want anything to do with them. I cannot apply for the dental assisting program at my community college because the campus it is held at is too far away and I don’t want to leave both my kids(well one would be 20 months and the other would be 6 weeks by the time I start) in day care all day while husband and I are away. I looked into online colleges to finish my degree in Early Childhood Education but all I get is harassed and no one will listen to my needs so they p*ss me off needless to say and I end up cursing them out when they continue to call after I tell them to take me off their lists and to not contact me again. Any suggestions or colleges that are legitimate? I have looked into National University, there is an actual campus located in the next city over from me. It is very expensive though and I don’t want to get into a lot of loans when only my husband is working. If I go back to work the best I can expect to get is minimum wage and that will only cover child care so it is not worth it. Sorry for the long post/rant but I just want to have a backup plan if I can’t get classes here. And the other local CC is even worse with getting classes for new students if I were to transfer so I don’t want to deal with that.Another thing I have looked into is cosmetology. I have one local school,Salon Success, that I had two friends go to. One loved it and got a job no problem, the other did not even qualify to get certified because she got bad teachers. Both had different programs of study though since one did cosmetology(loved it) and one did makeup only(hated it). I went to the school, had a tour and talked with the administrator and some of the students. Seems like a great program but they are only open during normal business hours for classes which makes it hard for me when my husband works normal business hours as well so we can’t afford child care.
