Am I crazy to think of going into anthropology?
Post Body

I am a single mother to a great preschooler, 27 years old, work part-time, school full time, set to graduate with a locally transferable A.S. in Business. It's that time where I'm supposed to be picking out my my next educational goal and I'm stuck. I love sciences, especially social sciences. I know if I were to follow something like Anthropology, Archaeology or something of that nature and get a career in research/education I would live a blissfully happy life. However, that route is expensive, unlikely to happen and isn't something that's likely to be single mom friendly. I have worked either in business admin, sales or radios my whole life. I do okay at business admin, great at sales and my skills with radios are obsolete and unusable. Business admin makes me miserable and Sales nearly caused me a mental break down complete with hospitalization last year. I'm looking at schools and finding these great options for child care, grants, financial aid, family housing, etc. but I know that I am going to wind up with thousands of dollars in student loans and no career if I don't plan carefully. I'm running out of time. I have to pick a major and a school and look at the individual scholarship/grant/financial aid/etc. programs, think about getting on housing lists, etc. I'm totally freaking out. Does anyone have input for me?!?!
