<prompt> Human: This might be better suited for a different sub; if so, my apologies.A little background: Making 35-40k, married, renting apt 800mo, joint income 60k, some college courses taken a while ago, currently a corporate security supervisorI am finding myself stuck in a loop of low paying jobs, where I make too much to qualify for financial aid, but I am capped in my job field and would like to move up which requires schooling. The schooling I would like to take to get a BA in business would have to be financed since we are living paycheck-to-paycheck, however I cannot see fitting another monthly payment given our situation.Kind of a open ended discussion, but what are my options to get out of this rut without a degree under my belt? Are there higher paying jobs that would allow me to save for higher education? Bite the bullet and take on a loan for schooling in hopes of finding a better job in a few years?Edit: Thank you all for the responses. It seems like others are in the same boat, and all the suggestions are very appreciated.Assistant: Go to community college while you continue working full time and try to get scholarships when you transfer.Human: I appreciate the suggestion, however as cheap as community college is, it still takes money and time. I may look into jobs with tuition reimbursement to ease the blow of schooling since right now an extra 1000 every few months is next to impossible. Are there decent jobs that pay well enough to live on, require no degree, and still offer tuition reimbursement? Being married and out in the world, my 1 priority is providing for my wife. College without assistance might take food off the table.  <response>: Where are you located? That may be having a huge impact on your expenses. I know that for myself, 60K and 800 in rent plus existing loans averaging 250 a month for both myself and my partner and general bills phones, utilities, groceries, etc leave us with not a TON of flush cash but enough to save and spend in the same billing cycle.Are you comfortable with moving and finding new work in a new city, or are you looking to stay where you are?
