School, money and me, oh my!

Just found out today that I qualify for an unsubsidized loan.  If I take it, then I'll owe about 8,000 as of right now.  On the other hand, I can't really picture how I'm going to pay for school any other way.  So...I guess I'll be taking the loan and selling my soul for the next several years.  Is a BA really worth it?  I hope so.  I wish I could quit Walmart right now and just concentrate on school, but I don't think that will happen.  However, I got a coaching today becuase I've been absent 6 times since Oct.  Yeah, pesky little things like a bad back and stomach flu will do that to a person.  They told me if I get 7 absences then it is grounds for termination.  So, yeah, ok.  I guess I should just start looking for a new job, sigh.  Oh, well.  It was nice having insurance while it lasted. 
*Hugs Flist!*

I think it's insane a company can fire you for being ill! That's just unheard of (at least, over here). I hope you''l be able to find a new (and better) job very soon.

Isn't it crazy? When I was in England visiting a friend, I was amazed becuase her work was repainting the store, and it was making her asthma really bad. They gave a week off with pay! She's also American, and we were both stunned. That never happens over here. At least not in retail.
I think I'm just going to have to try and find another job, and see if I can't get insuranc through the school. Wish me luck!
