I can't pay for school anymore and I need some help...please advise?
I am a 24 yr old male that lives in Ohio. I went to a private college for two years (mostly to play football) and realized I could continue there and finish my degree (which I hated) and keep playing ball or I could give up football and transfer schools. I ended up going to Ohio State and stopped playing football to chase my dream of becoming an architect. I entered the program and did well (mostly As and Bs) for three years. In my senior year I started running into money issues because my private school cost me over 28k a year and OSU was about 12k a year. I have no credit really and my parents have limited funds and low credit so I can't go to them. I finished my last year and now I am 5 courses short of graduating. However, I find myself in a position where I can't pay for school anymore. I barely paid for my last year and due to the lack of credit I can not get loans (tried sallie mae, great lakes, private loans, etc. ) and my parents don't qualify for Plus loans or anything. I now am 6 months removed and have student loans from Fafsa (around 65k total) calling me daily about payments and no solid job because no one will hire me because I don't technically have a degree even with 6 years of school. I have asked a lot of people and I can't find any help. What should I do? Any ideas on where I could turn for work with architecture related skills? Any ideas on how I could pay for the rest of my college? (ps i exhausted my subsidized and unsubsidized loans) Any advise is greatly appreciated. Also I am not depressed and actually I have no emotional issues or lacks in personality so please refrain from the psychology evaluations. Thank you for your help and sorry for the sob story but I figured you should know the background
