<prompt> Human: Today, i found out my girlfriend is pregnant. Im a 19 year old, trying to go through school, with no knowledge of finance, Ive had jobs since i was 16, and am currently working 2 summer jobs. i have about 3,000 in my savings, most of which goes to school expenses. i have no student debt yet, my parents covered 2 years of my tuition, and this will my my second year but if i continue after this year, i will have to take out loans. we are trying to evaluate all of our options abortion, adoption, keeping it but im clueless. how much does raising a child cost? how much is the hospital bill for simply having the child? should i continue school, or should i drop out and look for a job? my degree is Illustration, as i want to become a tattoo artistfreelance illustrator so the degree itself might not actually help me find a job anyway. how does one apply for food stamps? what other government subsidies might i qualify for? Im just confused, and lost, and could use any advice you have for me. WTF should i do? Assistant: i want to become a tattoo artistoh myHuman: Thats an okay job if he doesnt keep going into student loan debt.Assistant: That was my thinking, if i stopngoing to school, inhave no debt. My art is at a respectable level, better than most tattoo artists in my area. The apprenticeship will cost me a bit of money, but itd be a drop in the water compared to student debt  <response>: if you end up keeping it, get a better job for the kid.
