    I'm wanting to do a four week A class but feel as though I'm not going to be able to cover my monthly bills and do this class. This class runs Monday through Friday from 8am to 4pm for four weeks. Unfortunately, I am a very pay check to paycheck human being at the moment and struggling as it is to make ends meet. One paycheck from being homeless. Any suggestions? Taking out a loan? Idk.
    Advice please and thank you

    Some people pay with a credit card, then at graduation, throw the credit card away, shred it, then worry about the payments later.

    Try to find some company sponsored CDL training if it's what you really want to do. Even if you get your CDL at a school on your own, you'll need to be hired and trained as a driver, getting the sponsored school/training will ensure you have a gig lined up after graduation instead of beginning a job search. That may be best for your situation.

    Don't go to school until you have enough money to live from the day you start school & you get a paycheck. OR go to a sponsored CDL school where your next employer pays you to go to school & during your training. The fact you have bills does not obligate anyone but you so don't complain some company doesn't pay enough.
