<prompt> Human: Hello, I am currently a sophomore at Drexel University in Philadelphia. Back in February, a hold was placed on my account meaning I cant access my grades or my transcripts or most of Drexels online services. When I went to go investigate, I learned that I was denied all of the federal financial aid I was rewarded. This is because, in October of last year, Drexel ran a satisfactory academic progress report, to which I was just under the line the minimum is a GPA or a 2.0, at the time I had a 1.97. In the meantime I have tried to apply for private loans to try and cover the debt but I, nor anyone I know, have good enough credit for any kind of loan this substantial.It is worth mentioning that I am currently employed. Drexel offers a co-op program in which you work for half of the year, and go to classes for the other half. I do get paid at my job provided by Drexel.I was thinking about quitting school and finding an apartment in the city somewhere, and finding a new job once my employment at my current job ends its a six month cycle and there is no option to stay hired on at my current position after these six months. However I am unsure what tools or resources I can take advantage of in order to find an apartment or a job.Any and all advice about any of this is greatly appreciated. I am willing to answer any questions you may have if anything I said was confusing and unclear. Thank you.EDIT: I should clarify that, at the end of the quarter in which they ran the progress report, I had gotten my GPA above a 2.0. This was after they ran the report, though, so it didnt make any difference.EDIT 2: I just wanted to thank you all for all of the great advice that Ive been given. I cant really find the words to respond to each and every one of them but please know that Im reading them all and really appreciate all of it. Im really grateful for this community. Youre all incredible. Thank you.Assistant: You cant keep going to Drexel, that is clearly out of the question. If you wish to continue your education you will need to find a more affordable alternative. Maybe you can find an employer who would help pay for it. As far as your 50k debt is concerned, you will need to contact them to work out a repayment plan. Gainful employment is the priority now. Human: I was told by Drexel that they do have a payment plan, however they are unable to lift the hold on my account while I still have the debt. One of my concerns in the scenario youre offering and the one Im most leaning towards is finding that gainful employment. Whos going to hire a 21-year-old with one and a half years of college education and six months of experience?Assistant: 6 months experience of what? What are you doing at work? Can those skills translate to a job outside of the school? Human: Yeah, Im sorry I should have clarified that. I work at the IT department at the Philly Fire Department. It can absolutely translate to other jobs but, is it enough?  <response>: Youre not going to get anything with a huge salary or a management position, but you should be able to get a job. Dont limit yourself to just IT either--you might not be qualified for all of that stuff, but theres other things out there. You should probably be able to find something like data entry or admin work. At this point, you cant really be picky. Check if Drexel will still let you use their career center as well.
