Weird...I was just talking to an "ultrasound tech" that was just finishing up her program...says she loves it. You know, Daisy, not that anyone wants to incur massive student loan debt -- but, if you go to school full-time,  you'd be eligible for financial aid and maybe it wouldn't be necessary to work as much...*shrug*

If you talk to her again, can you find out from her more about the program? How long is it, should I try to get back into Indiana University or are there schools designed for this career that cuts out the fat of other courses (though I have completed all my undergrad general studies courses except all sciences)...any advice, that kind of thing...Googling for schools that offer this degree aren't proving too successful.

Looks like I missed the FAFSA by a few days...I was waiting on the green light before I applied. I'll probably pay for classes out of my pocket the first semester. Who knows...

Now that I think of it, when I attended Penn State, they required that the FASFA was submitted by March 15th for the following academic year. However, it all depends on the school/program! Looks like you should have up to July 2nd?

Here are the official deadlines according to the FASFA site:

Ohh cool! Thanks!

Aaron is helping me look for grants today, too...Found a couple, but I find myself asking, Why couldnt I be Jewish? Why couldn't my parents have been in the military? Why can't Aaron's uncle be my dad (minus the relation ramifications...) because he has a lot of things that he's belonged to that would get me grants, if I were his daughter. LOL

Congrats, Daisy!

As a small voice of experience, let me suggest finding a private home inspector to do some inspections on your behalf. They can call out far more things then the local building inspector can (they are pretty much constrained to the code, where PHI's can call-out about anything). You may have to pay a few hundred out of your pocket, but they can certainly help prevent issues down the line. I would especially consider one for rough-framing/plumbing/etc and and closer to finish. I think it is money well-spent, and it let's the builder know you are watching closely.
Something witty and relevant.

I hadn't thought to do that. I assumed because they were a member of BAGI that I'd be okay. Hmm, I will look into that!

Those large home builders change subs like you change underwear. It is prudent to have someone who is looking out for Your interests and not just Theirs.
