I hope this is the right place to post this. Ive been searching around the internet looking for info but cant find what i'm looking for so i thought id post here to see if anyone could help me.
Im a 23/m with a wife and small child. I graduated college a year ago with nearly a 4.0 gpa. I spent the last year and a half at home to be with my child.
I dont want to get into specifics, but right now my wife cant work and it may be awhile before she can again. Ive just started looking for a job. Im pretty down right now because i hate the process of finding a job and based on what ive seen i dont think i will be happy with anything i find. For a long time ive thought that id like to be a teacher/professor or do research or something and i am confident that i could be successful in that role. I would like to pursue a masters in a social science field. Also, I dont have any debt but i dont have any savings either.
So my question:
Is it realistic financially for me to be able to go back to grad school? Like what options would there be for me so that i could go and still make sure that my family is taken care of? Could i get loans to cover all our expenses, work/study, etc. I just feel completely lost right now because all the information ive seen only applies to individuals.
I would appreciate any advice i can get. Thank you.
