<prompt> Human: Hopefully this is the right sub for this...I am currently going to school trying to get through as quickly as possible with good grade so that I can graduate and get a job that pays 15 per hour. I have all of my classes either online, first thing in the morning or in the evening so that I can be daycare for our 1.5 year old daughter. Meanwhile, my wife currently has a part time job, getting 8-15 hours per week paying minimum wage. She has been trying to find a full time job for the past 2-3 months, getting an occasional interview but nothing comes through or she gets a sketchy vibe from the interview. She has experience working various industries but nothing seems to be clicking. We are currently living with my parents, paying rent when we can. We are currently maxing out our credit cards to pay for textbooksstupid-online-access-codes. I feel completely lost and hopeless. I have had the thought of dropping a class or two to try and pick up some work but that would incur childcare expenses that would likely nullify any work that I got, not to mention I feel that it would only perpetuate the situation rather than fix it. TL;DR-Im a broke college student, married with a kid. How on earth can my family make a living?  <response>: Obviously 8-15 hours a week is not enough to support 3 people, even with the help of your parents. Your wife should try to get a second part-time job rather than just looking for full-time work. Also, you should get a part-time job that covers different hours than hers so she can stay home with the child. Id say a good start would be to aim for her working 30 hrs a week and yourself working 15.
