4 Year Degree in Psychology Going No Where, 2nd Bachelors, Additional Degrees

It has been about a year since I graduate with my BA in Psychology. I feel stuck going no where. I have a 2.5 gpa so getting into graduate school will be VERY difficult. So I am trying to figure out what other degree's would be my preference and would provide a decent wage upon graduation. Then I can have a career, while I try to get into graduate school to pursue a degree in what I am most interested in.

SO my question is it possible to be BROKE with no financial support what so ever, with a 2.5 gpa from my BA in Psychology... and Go back to school for a AS in Biotechnology and then possibly a BS. In order to become a Medical Technologist. I feel this career would provide a decent wage. So how would I get the financial support in order to do so financially. I am broke working as a housekeeping supervisor earning minimum wage.

It is always possible to get financial aid unless you make way too much money, and even then you can get student loans. Your first step should be to go to www.fafsa.ed.gov - you will need a copy of your 2010 tax return to fill out the information. If you don't know which school you want to go to yet, do a little research on the internet. If your GPA is preventing you from getting into a local state or private college or university, consider going to school online. Many online programs don't care what your previous GPA was, as long as you maintain a C or above in all classes to qualify for their financial aid packages. Keep in mind that if you have been disqualified at a previous university for financial aid, this DOES NOT transfer to the new school. Basically, every time you switch to a new school, your GPA and record are reset. You will have transfer credits from your previous coursework and a new GPA once you complete a class at the new school. The best advice I can give is the following: 1) Make sure that the school you choose is accredited (if online only), 2) Make sure they accept federal financial aid loans, 3) Don't choose a school that charges a ridiculous amount per credit, 4) Make sure they won't screw you on transfer credits, 5) DO THE WORK. If you fall behind and get poor grades, you won't qualify for financial aid and will have to go to a new school and start over again. Trust me on this one, transferring to new schools is a pain!

I hope all of this rambling helps!
