What is the cheapest way to get a legitimate Masters in MFC?

Asked by Dog (25152points) March 18th, 2012

I have the brains to do it. I am a very serious student.
To get legitimately hired I need my Masters in Marriage and Family Counseling with emphasis on Art Therapy.

Unfortunately we make just enough money to not get financial aid and, even with scholarships, there is no way we can afford for me to go.

I am considering selling my car and some other misc stuff to help cover it, but the degree programs seem to total 50–80k. My 1995 mustang is not going to even put a notch in that, but it will be a start. I will also be working part time as I go and taking care of our three kids who are still at home.

I will apply for every scholarship I can, but was wondering if there were any cheaper yet legit alternatives out there.

My dream was to be a Clinical Art Therapist. But that hope is fading pretty fast. Bottom line is I need a job and anything I get now will be a dead end till I get a Masters degree. If the art aspect does not work out I think I could get a decent job with the MFC Masters.
