Need advice

Hello all!

Im in a bind here. I am having trouble finding ways to pay for CDL school. I applied through the VA to use my Montgomery GI bill and I wasn’t eligible. The only 2 other ways I know I can pay for school is a personal loan (which I can’t get because of my credit score) and through a state program (in Michigan we have MiWorks which offers to pay for your cdl schooling but you have to be unemployed) so my only other option in my brain is to sign with a mega for their school. But I don’t want to do that either because of the horror stories I’ve heard. I’m in the national guard so I’d need to be with a company that respects my drill schedule, and my girlfriend is pregnant and I’d like to be home as often as possible to assist with her and what not. So I’m just wondering what my options are and if anyone has any advice if I did decide to go the company route. Thank you in advance for any replies!
