20 in 2 months.


I don';t think you can get emancipated, then. If you could, then you could apply for aid and I don't think you dad's income would be taken into consideration. But you're 20 and I don't know if that alternative is open. Besides, you would need to go to court and your parents would need to agree to let you do this.

That doesn't mean you don't qualify for any aid here, though. It just means that parent's income can decrease( or increase) the support, before you're 21 years.
Parents still make way too much.

Aure, but you won't know for sure unless you try.
Would have helped if MSU had an architecture program. I was told to transfer to UM or a private university elsewhere if I wanted to pursue architecture. UM and many private universities turned me down before, and wouldn't even think of me as a transfer student.

Getting into an architecture program is not that difficult if you get into Community College and raise up your transcript grades.

The main thing is whether or not you have the money to pay for it.
Yes. The matériels for arts programs are expensive. At least AutoCAD is free for 3 years with a .edu email address, iirc.

How am I enabling her, according to you, by praising her for managing the way she is during her transition? For not insulting people when they act like dicks to her when they see her?

I can understand your point when it comes to her career but not the other way.

POG's usually get paid the big bucks.

-sigh-

Just my opinion here, but I think you're overestimating your interpretation of the facts.

I don't think anyone is enabling her, since we're also criticizing her this very minute on some of her things.

That as to what? You obviously don't want to do the military option. Do you have any other options, aids, that you can think of, that could help you go to uni? I know some unis accept you upon condition that you maintain a good grade point average the first semester. Or do you have to wait a certain amount of time before you can apply?
