What decision would you make in this situation?
I get $643/month, my rent is 1/2 my income, I pay $60 in electricity & $100 in food. $20 for laundry, $30 for a prepaid phone cardwith 300 minutes, & about $15 for cab service, lugging those groceries. I'm mentally disabled & go to college-I have my BA-Spanish degree, but I have a weak GPA, so I'm taking extra courses to try to get into grad school. I don't like Spanish Lit, but that's all they offer. I want to translate & interpret. I'm desperate for work, but no one wants to hire me because they say I appear mentally slow b/c of my movements & mannerisms. They think I'm retarded & don't know any better. They also won't hire me because of my weight. I have other necessssities that I can't have because of lack of money. If you were in my situation, would you quit your current school & try to go to T&S school out of state, quit school PERIOD & try to find work, or stick to a Grad major of a field you're not interested in & stay poor? I don't know what's the best decision. What else?

***T&S means TRANSLATION & INTERPRETING school. Should I pursue a Certificate in California @ Cal State-Los Angeles, Expensive Grad program @ Monterey Institute-$40,000/yr. tuition in California where I can get a MASTER's in my DESIRED career field, OR stay here @ University of North Texas in Denton, kind of rural town with not much job opportunity & extremely limited transportation, majoring in something I don't have interest in, which is why my GPA is so low in the first place?
