<p>So I wasn't able to go to my local CC this semester due to financial problems (sort of a long story) and was wondering if I should start up next semester and make up credits over the summer or next if necessary, or if I should just wait a year.</p>
<p>If you are not being productive within that gap year (work experience, volunteer etc.) then you should start next semester.</p>
<p>I do have a full time job atm, but I’m sure that I can make things work well if I manage my time correctly.</p>
<p>Would you qualify for finacial aid?</p>
<p>Oh boy. </p>
<p>Number one rule about college: Once you start, do not stop.</p>
<p>You must be focused to graduate from college. Taking time off here and there will not be beneficial. Keep in mind every year you lose potential earnings. </p>
<p>Register for spring semester. Take summer classes. If you have to take out a loan or petition your folks for more aid. </p>
<p>Ask yourself if you’re serious about college. If the answer isn’t yes, you need to start working on plan B. Vocational programs/military/retail entry level management…etc.</p>
