I'm 21, currently a Junior in college studying Accounting. I'll need three more semesters to graduate here.
I just found out my school is cutting off my financial aid/scholarship/grants/everything meaning I no longer have the money to pay tuition. So I have a few options and I thought I'd get the forum's advice on this.
The way I see it, my options are:
Get a private loan and finish up my last 3 semesters.
Drop out, work, go back in the fall to a cheaper school closer to my hometown and live with my parents to save money. (Would likely end up needing an extra semester at least, as not all classes would transfer. I would also have to change majors.)
Drop out, work, work on my copy writing on the side and try to work my way up to doing that full-time, forget college.
Peace out to Bangkok, get a job teaching English, work on my copy writing on the side and try to work my way up to doing that full-time, forget college.
I was leaning towards the private loan at first, but I don't want to get loaded with debt.
I'm also eager to get abroad again which makes the second option sound terrible, as I'd be trapped here for the next two years at the very least.
Any advice? I'm stumped right now. I'd been getting ready for classes, working on writing on the side, and expecting to graduate in May 2016, then I got hit with this three days before classes began.
