Very afraid, do I have to drop out of school...?

Question

I'm a fulltime student and yesterday, my husband got fired from his job. HE'S THE ONLY ONE WORKING...we stay in a campus apartment, so if I dropped out, we wouldn't have no where to go. I'm so scared and he's been looking for jobs, but I am so scared that he might not find anything. I need some major encouraged. Even worse, he got fired right b4 our 1 yr anniversary. So we can't go anywhere. We are so young (both of us r 23). I'm in school for nursing but about to change to a career of school counseling (nursing is way to hard). Guys I need some help.....

Answer 1

First of all, if your tuition for the semester has already been paid, you probably wouldn't get it back at this point anyway, so dropping out would only leave you homeless as well; not a good idea! The economy is pretty good right now, so unless you are in a very small town with only one employer, or your husband chooses this moment to become very picky, he can probably find another job. He needs your support right now, and this isn't about you. You are both young, but you chose to get married, so you need to work as a team. Can you pick up part-time work for now to help out? I know very few students who don' t also work, even if only a few hours a week. Think about the long-term. If you don't finish school (and, by the way, I hope that school counseling isn't any easier than nursing; that is a bad way to pick your major), you are bound for long-term financial struggles, so you may want to talk with someone at school about how to do this. This is real life; people get and lose jobs. It may be scary, but it also could be the wake-up call you needed to realize that adults have can't rely on others to solve all their problems for them.

Answer 2

This is all going to be about your attitude. You didn't say what kind of job he had, so I don't know the level of income you are going to have to replace.

I went to school fulltime and worked more than halftime all at the same time. Don't worry about the anniversary. This problem is solvable.

Answer 3

i dont know how long you have been in school, but if i was in your situation, i'll take a deep breath, sit down with my husband and work out a plan, for the both of us to look for work, don't give up your schooling first of all, stick it out , if you keep saying that nuresing is hard, eventually this is not the field for you, nothing is ever easy, unless you focus on what you need to do, if you tell yourself you can do this, then stay on this field, anyways back to what i was talking about, its the fall for the mean time keep looking for work, knock on neighbors doors see if they need there lawn raked, need a baby sitter,do a bake sale, heck if you have kids, they can help out by doing a lemonade stand,lol, it would hurt you never know, im mean forreal anything,etc..., theres work out there, every little bit adds up, and most of all pray for your needs, trust ask and you shall receive, it works, just don't give up, and im just hoping that your man is as concerned as you, if ya work together, nothing is inpossible,best of luck

Answer 4

relax,take a breath and things will be ok. i am sure either he or you both can take a job at a local supermarket or fast food or retail place---even if it is just for the time being. Money is money and sometimes you have to do a job that is not your first choice.
Don't worry about your anniversary--just being together is a celebration in itself.

Answer 5
