Wecandothis, your concern about where the money will come from is an important one. I honestly don't know the answer. As it is, the majority of federal aid is loans. I expect they'll just continue to raise the loan maximums. THAT is not good. I am predicting the next big bailout will be student loans ... I don't think people are going to be able to pay back what they are borrowing as it is, and loan limits were just raised this year.

My state has funding dedicated to displaced homemakers ... they offer help for job searches, training to get up to speed for the work force, and there is even some money available for college tuition. You should check with your state employment office. I live in MI, and we have MichiganWorks, which oversees these programs.
