plz help me : (</p>

<p>How about Physical or Occupational Therapy?
Look at SUNY-Purchase and the other SUNYs
Good luck</p>

<p>Can you work out a payment plan for the student loan in default?
Are you planning on commuting to college or relocating?</p>

<p>I’m from Orange County, too! Newburgh :D</p>

<p>I think if you are looking for professional training in college - something that leads to a career directly - at this stage in the game you need to figure out what you want to do first, what you want to study. If you want to do x-ray technician or a radiologist’s assistant kind of thing, there are 2-year programs for that. Orange County Community College has associate’s degree programs in medical laboratory technology, nursing, occupational therapy assistant, physical therapy assistant, and radiologic technology, as well as a liberal arts degree in the humanities and social sciences.</p>

<p>Honestly when you’re older, settled with a family, and in need of cash doing 60 credits at a community college and transferring to a four-year public university is the most cost-effective way to go. Radiologic technicians usually only need an associate’s so you could go to OCC and be done with it. Same with OT and PT techs and nurses, although now more hospitals are demanding nurses with a bachelor’s degree. If you want to do something in psychology, you honestly have to have a BA and really you can’t do anything interesting unless you have an MA/MS at least. I honestly don’t think psychology is so good a field for someone looking to get pre-professional training, and I say that as a psychology undergraduate major and current PhD student. Although if you are interested in getting your MA/MS or some other mental health related degree (like getting an MSW and becoming a licensed clinical social worker) it’s a perfect jumping-off point.</p>

<p>You could probably pay the tuition out of pocket for OCCC. Tuition is $1854 per term for full-time students and $154 per credit hour.</p>
