especially if you're in the triangle area of NC, NJ, or Philadelphia. there are probably other areas of which i am not aware. i don't know how old you are, but i am 58 and am attending college again for a professional certificate in clinical trial research. i'm really fortunate because i have the job already and my boss made it possible for me to pursue a new career, but many of the students in my program are in situations more like yours than mine. you can make a good living.
just a suggestion. under any circumstances please don't give up hope. if i had more time i would tell you about the year i spent in the desert having lost home, job, and all but 1 of my young children, but i can tell you that what pulled me through was education. it was computers then, now it's biotech.
i am sorry you're going through this.don't give up. DO NOT GIVE UP.
