Thanks so much Lisa, I really needed to hear from you. I am
going tomorrow night to sign the financial aid forms and I didn't
want to spend the money if I couldn't get a job. I didn't even
know that U of P had a program until I spoke with the hiring
manager at our local school district. There are plenty of jobs
in the school district here, I just wish we had a local
university that catered to the working student as well as U of P
does. I would much rather get a degree from a B & M school.

Thanks again,
Becky
