As a single parent I have ponder what would be suffient pay to be self suffient for my family. I think if I made about 15 dollars an hr I could be self suffient for my family of four (3 kids, 1 adult). I have been in college for 9 years off and on and am now a senior w/ two semester to go but they require me to quit my job to finsih becasue of the commute to the college, and time commitment. I applied for a job that is paying about 18 dollars and I think I will get the job, which is more than I think I will make as a soc major. If I get the job should I take the position and finish school some other time or stick w/ school? Singel parenting is tough right now for obvious financial reasons and I need to money. Should I quit school since I have so many barriers to finishing anyway? The job is stable and not leaving the commuinty. I owe tons of money to the university and have been out over a year going to the community college transfer in credits. What would you do?
