Thank You all for your intrest and concern for me and my plight. I'm sure that from all that I've read is that the only way to get help is to help yourself. SO, I just jumped in (actually I hobbled) Headfirst. Borrowed the money at an exhorborant intrest rate, "I don't stagnate well, if I'm not moving foward I'm sliding back, and my goal kept getting further away."  Paid for my classes online and I'll have my license by October. After that I'll worry about replacing those worn out joints,"hopefully" it's not to late.   again... Thank You All.  

My name is Guy Prins, I'm 47years old and I've been in automobile collision repair from 1987 thru 2000 when I had to quit due to severe arthritis. I bounced around for about 4 years trying to pay the bills. The SSA said that they are sure that I'm in constant pain but they're sure that I could find something to do. anyway I've landed this gig with an appraiser, he is training me and I've taken the necessary classes to get my Arkansas State registered appraiser certificate. I need another 200 class hours for my license but I can't afford the tuition or the time to take off to finish it. I know that if I do this. I can remain a productive member of society.

Can someone help point me in the right direction and help me through the process.

Thanks Guy
