Feeling Hopeless, Need Advice

Hello everyone. I was recently rejected twice from the radiologic imaging program at City Tech. It was the most discouraging experience and I have no intention of applying again as my current grades won’t get me into another rad tech program given how competitive programs are across the board. I've been screwed over because at the start of this year I lost my job that was getting me through school and helping me make monthly loan payments for my bachelor's. Now I'm left with nothing. And when I turn 26 later this year, I'll be without health insurance because I'll be kicked out of my parent's plan through their job. As of right now I am currently unemployed and struggling to find work. And even if I had a plan B, how can I work and attend school? I can’t afford private college and I hardly get financial aid. I was thinking about getting a job as a CUNY Office Assistant but what if I can't get one?

I know I’m not the only one but it’s embarrassing being almost 26 years old and having no real job. There is just so much at stake. My time and money is involved and it feels like it's being wasted no matter what I do. The pressure is on from my family for me to figure something out. I would appreciate everyone's input as I don't want history to repeat itself. I’m just in a dark mindset and feeling lost right now. If anyone knows of any resources that I can turn to for help please let me know.

Bronx Community College for Nuclear Medicine Technology, Can I do it?

Hello everyone. I was recently rejected twice from my radiologic imaging program I was trying to get into and I have been looking into the NMT program at BCC as an alternative. I am still missing a few prerequisites for the program but I just completed A&P 1 and 2 and got an A- and A. I took English and Math from my previous college. I already have a bachelor's degree and I read that students who were first enrolled at BCC have priority over transfer students.

I just wanted to get insight about the program, like how competitive it is, how challenging it is, how many seats there are, and what is the GPA that is accepted?

As of right now I am currently unemployed and struggling to find work. And if I go through with this program, how can I work and attend school? I was thinking about getting a job at the college itself but what if I can't get one?
