How many hours a week were you working and were you taking a full load of classes at the same time? It may have just been all too much. Sometimes, you have to either take a loan and work less, or take fewer classes (and longer to finish) to keep your grades up.

Your advisor doesn’t know what you are capable of over time, but for right now with a 2.27 GPA, you probably can’t transfer to an engineering or nursing program. Take care of yourself, and then regroup for what you need to do to get on track with your education. You still sound very stressed and depressed, and that’s not the best state to be in for making important life decisions.

If you need to work, perhaps the best thing to do is look at the two year programs at your community college and see if you can find something you might like that would give you a bump in pay, then work for a while and build up a financial cushion.

Low GPAs can be forgiven after taking some time off of school, as long as you can show you are ready to be a more mature and focused student after your time away.
