College Assistance

safetyman446644 started this conversation

I am an Enviromental Health and Safety Advisor.  I work offshore for an oil company known as Cal Dive International.  I have attempted to attend college twice now and still work; this has resulted in myself having to go to work full time to survive.  I do not get any assistance from the government (ie: Foodstamps, unemployeement, or earned income credit).  I would like to go to college online and still work at my current place of employment. I love my job and I want to continue to make our work areas safe, as well as instill a concious effort to safeguard the environment in our employees that work for the company.  I wish to find some type of assistance wether it be a grant or a loan that will allow me to pay for school and continue to work at my current place of employment.  I have worked very hard to be where I am at, however if for some reason i lose my job I will be right back at square one again having to work construction offshore or on land because I do not have a degree in my job field.  I a U.S. Veteren, however I do not qualify for the GI Bill because of time in service.  I am a fairly intelligent person and scored a 26 on the ACTs in 1999.  I appreciate your time reviewing this.
