My SO has no Idea!
I have B.A. in Communications from MSSU. But I lost my copies of my transcripts due to the tornado and my flash drive with the electric copy getting stolen at a shelter. I have become delinquent in the payments of the loans due to no job since May 22, 2011. To get the transcripts I have to contact a clearinghouse and set up a payment plan. According to them I must get a paycheck so they can use the numbers on it to start to take payments off of it or my bank account number ( I don't have a bank account).
My SO keeps showing me jobs in my field and is yelling at me to apply. "Stop wasting your education" he says. Those jobs want copies of my transcripts. I can't give them what I no longer have. It like he is putting salt in a very open wound. He won't listen or understand. For now all I can do is pray for one of the fast food or clerk jobs to call. I am hurting so bad and he just won't stop and see what is going on.
So many are in a very similar boat right now in this country. It is a catch 22 for so many, need proof of education to get the job they are trained for, but can't get it due to not working and going delinquent. Thus, can not get the paperwork to change things.
And I am sure they to get to hear it from loved ones. But it still makes you feel alone in this world.

Everything in the bolded is SO EASY to accomplish but you are not going to pay all that back right?

So here's you a plan to try and get your ass off the gov't teat:
1) go get a job at a 7/11, any job
2) go get a bank account (unless you have also screwed that up by owing money for bounced checks)

3) take that first paycheck you earn, all $54.56 dollars and set up a payment plan to get your transcripts
4) now that you have your transcripts go back to NOT paying anything

Seriously, I'm so sick of these people. They have not one ounce of shame. NONE, ZERO, OBAMA!
