Hopefully they guide her to a better track. Quitting work and taking student loans for an economics degree is a very bad plan. I happen to have earned an engr degree while raising a child as a custodial single parent. It was not easy. I was foolish to take out student loans, which I had still not paid off when I took out more for that same child in college. Fortunately I saw the light of greater financial wisdom with the help of Dave, and now my wife and I are putting our two younger children thru college with cash.

My recommendation is do anything you can online. I don't have children but since going back after the vaccine came out, they have not been kind and flexible as they were with my school schedule. If I had children or had to pay for housing I would have definitely had to take off time from school to catch up because of the reduction in hours at work they were asking of me to do with no consideration of my situation. Before going into school and pre 2020, I knew that was the case: they want you in a building when they could easily present this information in the comfort of your home and done on your time.

As a guy who’s about to finish up an Economics degree, I feel that this is halfway wrong. Economics majors usually make some of the highest salaries out of school compared to other majors, but it is a harder degree - especially for a single mom. I’d say a business degree would be good if she needs a checkbox certification for a degree and she can get it fast. An economics and law school combination goes well too, but like they said she may not actually go into law. That being said, I plan on getting an MBA in Finance so my resume may look a little different 🤷🏽‍♂️

@john Smith True. Idk, most of the people I see with help aren't as appreciative if they had to do it all on their own. And help *usually* comes with parents that overstep their boundaries. My parents live an hour and a half away, are good people, but I never ask for their help and they never ask if I need help. I have been independent since I was 16. My dad and I will go to dinner once and awhile and will facetime once a week, that's the extent of my "help". My question from the other poster on why they don't have any help is because they said "they are in the same exact boat and have no help", so my question was more along the lines of where is the child's father in circumstances where they have no help. As most of your help when parenting should come from each parent. I have a preeeeeeetty good idea where the child's father is in the case of the caller, and the original poster. I'm about to have a daughter and I will provide for her, both financially and physically and not ask my family for help. It's never a bad thing to be able to do it all on your own.

A degree in economics is essentially worthless for anything other than getting into an advanced degree program. She needs a degree that will give her a JOB that she can work while pursuing additional training. The most obvious is nursing because that can always lead to a job anywhere. Get an associate degree. MANY hospitals will pay for their employees to pursue the BS while working and agreeing to work for them for a certain period afterward; if she doesn't like that commitment, keep using Pell for the BS. Then move on to law school. ANY degree can get you into law school, but not any degree can result in a job while you are doing it.

The big elephant here is the kid's dad that's if he fathered both kids. All of this about her college degree, work is a bit irrelevant. From what she described, the father isn't involved in his kid's lives and that's unacceptable.

I'm not saying it can't be done, but wouldn't it be a lot easier to stay with your husband ( figure out how to deal with him), get through college, raise your kids in the suburbs, and then, when you're secure, and the kids are older, leave? Selfish and silly is what I see.

Got me thinking I could do that and I went to school and became a hairdresser making lots more money. Later I was doing a lot of nurse's hair and that motivated me to go to nursing school. now I'm an RN. Who would have guessed it???
