I need your help.  I am 23 years old and just graduated from college and planning to get married in the summer.  I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Management and Information Systems and was on the Dean’s List and on the National Dean’s in college.  However, I have been plagued with many unfortunate circumstances.  I can’t seem to find a job right now and can’t pay the bills.  I don’t have enough in my checking account to even pay for next months bills, and I have cut back on everything I can think of, even cutting back on food.  My credit cards are all maxed out and I have no one to turn to for help.  Here’s the thing, like I said before I just graduated from college and my loans are starting to have to be paid back which is in excess of $25,000, my car started leaking coolant into my engine, which is going to cost at the minimum $750-$1,000, I need new breaks and new tires.  I have medical bills in the thousands of dollars which I can’t pay off.  If I do not get my car fixed I have no reliable transportation to even really get to and from work.  I have sold everything of value to anyone, and have really nothing left.  If something doesn’t happen for me soon we will be out in the street.  Anything someone can do to help is greatly appreciated. I have never asked for anything from anyone before and anyone who knows me would verify that, but I have no where else to turn to for help. I’m not asking for much just a little something to help with the bills.  Or better yet anyone that can help me with a job would be even better.  Like I said before I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Management and Information Systems.  So anything in IT would be great and I am willing to start at the bottom.  Please help.  My email address is pleasehelpmesoon@gmail.com, and you can email me if you are willing to help.  Once again thank you and God Bless.

Need Aid For Undergraduate Bachelor's Degree Education

I am working full time while trying to make it through a four year degree program to earn my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science.  I am majoring in General Information Technology while leaning towards Networking.  My ultimate goal is to eventually create and manage a company that works with contractors to create assisted living smart homes for the elderly and the physically impaired.  I feel this will create a sense of security for the residents as well as their families.  I do not want to stop at a remote control that shuts lights out from one location.  I want to include voice recognition, automatic lighting, vehicle recognition, etc.  I also want to make this an affordable solution rather than an unattainable project.  I plan on becoming certified in many areas of Networking & Security and will acquire these titles as necessary for the position.  Currently, tuition is $1743 per 6 credit course with one course being paid via Federal Aid.  My Federal Aid worksheets show that I should be able to pay for anything beyond this (including all books, supplies, room & board, etc.) from my own pocket - I can't as I'm sure many other college attendees can't.  I've applied for alternative loans but, have failed to secure these loans due to not having a co-signer.  I do not have anyone that can co-sign the loan.  As you can see - I have a dilemma.  I would like to take on two courses, at least, per quarter and would prefer eventually three in order to complete my degree sooner.  I am searching for any type of aid available to help me with my career goals.  I am married and have two younger dependents, a house payment, two vehicle payments, etc.  (I'm sure many others do, too).
