I recently quit my job to finish school, I saved up enough money to care take of myself and my bills for 2-3 months, hoping with that timeframe, I would have gotten a job by then. Right after I quit my job, I had two interviews to get a job at the hospital and I got the job but they wouldn't hire me until I got my license to work in the medical field. The school said it wouldn't take long but now they are saying it takes 10 weeks-they gave me misinformation and now I am stuck, the school also claim to help with job assistance but I have been doing all the job hunting on my own...

I am now panicking because I have been unemployed for almost 2 months and money is being pulled out and my accounts are slightly in the negatives...

I applied for a loan yesterday at the bank just to take care of my bills for the next few months but got denied because they said I might have too high credit card debt which is a little over 2 grand....which is why I need the loan-to pay credit card bills etc.

I'm hoping if my sister cosigns, she is a USC...I can get the loan and continue to apply to jobs until I get one soon... ANY ADVICE on this...oh and please spare me the lecture on how I should have gotten a job before I quit because I got the job but they told me I cannot work without that license.

Not a lecture but that's life. Hopefully you'll learn from this and be a stronger person for it. You can always get quick cash jobs until you get things fixed- carwashes, valet parking, bartering, waiting tables, landscape work, construction, or any other sorts of dignified yet soul crushing work a person in this situation would need to do. There is plenty of seasonal work too.
