Why not enroll in A&P school? If there's a community college around it
should not be too expensive and a Pell grant will probably pay half for
free anyway.

Pell grant? Qualifying may be the tall pole in the tent. The current
regulation, effective July 1, 2006 states you must be a full-time student
in
you first or second year of higher education. For all the restrictions
see
(http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/hera.htm) You are going to love filling out the
wonderful FAFSA forms. ( http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/)

Already having a degree this could prove to be a problem. :-))


The new rules even make it a problem for new college freshman who were
"duel-enrolled" their senior year of high school. Several states allow
student to enroll in a Junior College during their senior year of high
school. If in the process, the student declared a field of study (major)they
do not meet the "If a first-year student, not have been previously enrolled
in an undergraduate program" requirement.

This new rule added in January 2006 has denied aid to thousands of needy
students. It is especially unfair because it wasn't in effect when the
student enrolled at the Junior College; therefore, they couldn't have know
that declaring a major would jeopardize their ability to continue their
education.
